1. Define the geography before you define the review goal
The U.S. Census Bureau records Union as a municipal-town in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 6,430 and a margin of error of 19. A firm may serve Union while also accepting clients elsewhere in Hunterdon County or across New Jersey. Those are different coverage decisions.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area definition to the consultation. Separate Union from Hunterdon County and from New Jersey as a whole. Then decide whether reputation work should prioritize one Google Business Profile, a broader client base, or a defined set of practice-area audiences. Ask how review activity will be interpreted when clients come from outside Union.
