1. Set the geographic boundary before assessing reputation
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Asheville is 94,535, with a margin of error of 43. For reputation work, the distinction matters. A Google Business Profile may be evaluated by people in Asheville, elsewhere in Buncombe County and in other places the firm serves. Those audiences should not be treated as one undifferentiated market.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to separate the firm’s intended service geography into Asheville, Buncombe County and any additional North Carolina areas the firm actually serves. Review whether requests and reporting can distinguish those areas, and decide which geographic relationships matter when evaluating qualified inquiries.
