1. Define the geographic footprint before planning pages
Bosseo describes a structure in which a firm can choose statewide coverage or limit coverage to selected counties. For a firm evaluating Medina, the relevant relationship is precise: Medina village is in Orleans County, New York. That does not mean a Medina page should represent every community in the county, or that a county page should imply an office in Medina. Your service area, office locations, consultation rules, and willingness to accept matters should determine the footprint. The Census population record identifies Medina as a municipality and estimates 5,770 residents, but population is eligibility evidence only. It cannot tell you whether people are searching for a particular legal service or whether another firm is competing for that search.
Recommended approach
Write down the locations your firm actually serves, distinguish Medina village from Orleans County, and decide whether the initial scope should cover the county or a smaller set of places. Ask Bosseo to show how that choice affects the proposed service-and-location coverage. Do not approve pages for places your firm does not intend to serve.
