1. Start with the footprint your firm can serve
Bosseo’s public Programmatic SEO page describes two geographic choices: the whole state or only selected counties. Gouverneur is recorded as a town in St. Lawrence County, New York. That relationship matters because a county-level footprint is not the same as a Gouverneur-only campaign, and neither should be described as statewide coverage. The right starting point is the firm’s actual service area: whether it accepts matters from Gouverneur alone, from other St. Lawrence County communities, or from a wider New York geography. The town’s population estimate identifies the municipality; it does not tell you how many people search for a lawyer or whether another firm is competing for those searches.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to model at least two scopes for comparison: Gouverneur and the surrounding service geography your firm genuinely accepts, and a St. Lawrence County footprint. Treat statewide coverage as a separate decision. Exclude places where the firm does not intend to consult, accept matters, or provide accurate local guidance.
