1. Start with the geographic relationship, not a population assumption
Ogdensburg is recorded as a municipality in St. Lawrence County, New York. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate records 9,455 residents, with a margin of error of 38. That is context for deciding how precisely your website should describe its service area; it is not evidence of search demand, competition, legal need, leads, cases, or revenue. A page that says only “New York law firm” may be too broad for a person looking for help in Ogdensburg or elsewhere in St. Lawrence County. A page that claims service in places the firm does not actually serve creates a different problem: inaccurate information.
Recommended approach
Use the consultation to establish the geographic facts your firm is prepared to publish: Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence County, New York, and any additional locations the firm confirms. Review whether each practice-area explanation makes that service geography clear without implying that census data predicts inquiries.
