1. Start with the geography your firm can actually serve
Bosseo describes a footprint that can cover an entire state or only selected counties. That distinction matters for a Mountainside firm because Mountainside is in Union County, not a stand-alone regional market label. If your practice serves clients throughout Union County, a county-level scope may be more coherent than treating one borough as the entire opportunity. If your firm serves only a narrower area, the consultation should examine whether pages for other places would be accurate and useful to readers. The Census record identifies Mountainside as a municipality and places it in Union County; it does not show where prospective clients search or where your firm should accept matters.
Recommended approach
Bring your actual service boundaries to the review. Ask Bosseo to compare a Mountainside-only concept with a Union County footprint and, if relevant, a broader New Jersey scope. Choose locations because your firm can serve them and provide locally relevant information—not because population is being used as a proxy for demand.
