1. Define Loudonville coverage without confusing geography with demand
Loudonville is recorded as the Loudonville CDP in Albany County, New York. A firm may serve the CDP, a wider Albany County area or other locations, but those are different geographic choices. The population estimate describes the CDP only. It does not show how many people search for legal information, which firms compete for those searches or whether a news page will produce an inquiry. Legal News should be evaluated against the firm’s actual service area and practice boundaries rather than against a population assumption.
Recommended approach
Bring a precise coverage discussion to the consultation: whether pages should address Loudonville, Albany County, New York or another permitted service area; which locations are appropriate to mention; and which locations should be excluded. Ask how a story’s geographic relevance will be judged before it reaches approval.
