1. Treat Harrisonville as one service area decision, not a population forecast
The Census record identifies Harrisonville city as a municipality in Cass County. For a firm evaluating location coverage, that distinction matters: a page for Harrisonville is not automatically a page for all of Cass County, and county coverage is not the same as statewide coverage. The population estimate can confirm that Harrisonville is a real place to include in a geographic plan, but it cannot tell you whether people are searching for a particular legal service or whether another firm is competing for that search.
Recommended approach
Start by drawing the service footprint you can actually serve. Decide whether Harrisonville belongs in a Cass County plan, a broader Missouri plan, or both. Then list the legal services that deserve separate treatment. Do not use the population estimate to choose practice areas or predict results; use the consultation to examine current visibility, page usefulness, and how the firm will identify qualified inquiries.
