Start with the right geographic boundary
The U.S. Census Bureau records Rutgers University-Busch Campus as a census-designated place in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 5,920, with a margin of error of 143. That is a description of the place, not evidence of legal-services demand, review volume, competition, cases, or revenue. It also does not establish that every person associated with the campus is a prospective client. For reputation work, define whether your firm serves the campus, a wider part of Middlesex County, additional New Jersey communities, or another stated service area. Then make sure review requests and profile language reflect the clients and matters your firm actually handles.
Recommended approach
Bring your intended service-area wording to the consultation. Review whether your Google Business Profile, website contact information, review requests, and public responses describe the same geographic coverage without implying that a campus population is your market size.
