1. Define the Apex footprint without overstating local demand
Apex has recorded county relationships with Chatham County and Wake County. That relationship matters when you decide whether an Apex-focused plan should stay within one county, include both counties, or extend to other areas your firm genuinely serves. The Census population estimate identifies the municipality; it does not tell you how many people search for a lawyer, which practice areas they need, or how many firms compete for those searches. Bosseo’s public product description says its engine can be scoped to the whole state or to selected counties. That makes geographic eligibility the first decision, not a claim about likely performance.
Recommended approach
Bring a service-area map to the review. Mark Apex, the counties you accept matters from, and any city or county that should be excluded. Ask Bosseo to explain how a county-limited footprint would be represented and how expansion would be evaluated. Keep municipal pages, county relationships and broader metropolitan service areas distinct in your internal plan.
