1. Set Oceanport inside the footprint you actually serve
The Census records Oceanport borough as a municipality in Monmouth County, New Jersey. That exact relationship matters when you choose between a county-based footprint and broader New Jersey coverage. Oceanport should not be treated as a stand-in for the whole county, a metropolitan area, or the state. Nor should its population estimate be used as a proxy for demand. Bosseo’s public product description says firms can choose the whole state or only selected counties, with every city inside the selected footprint represented in the page plan. Your first decision is therefore geographic: does the firm genuinely serve Oceanport only, Monmouth County, or a broader New Jersey area?
Recommended approach
Bring a service-area map to the consultation. Separate places where the firm accepts matters from places it merely wants visibility. Ask for a county-by-county scope, with Oceanport identified as one municipality within Monmouth County rather than as evidence of market size.
