1. Start with Myrtle Grove coverage, not a population assumption
The U.S. Census Bureau records Myrtle Grove as a census-designated place in New Hanover County, North Carolina. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 12,637, with a margin of error of 1,289. That is geographic context, not proof of legal demand, competition, search volume, case volume or revenue. For AI SEO, the useful decision is whether your website accurately explains that you serve Myrtle Grove and how that service relates to New Hanover County and North Carolina. A page should not blur a census-designated place, a county, a metropolitan area and the state into one interchangeable audience.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review whether your location language is precise and consistent across your website. Decide which geography belongs on a page about Myrtle Grove, which belongs on a county service page, and which belongs in statewide practice information. Keep the coverage tied to your actual service area and avoid expanding the claim simply because a nearby place is familiar.
