1. Start with the Tarboro–Edgecombe County relationship
Tarboro is recorded as a town in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. That distinction matters when you decide whether a page should target Tarboro specifically, cities throughout Edgecombe County, or a wider North Carolina footprint. A municipality page and a county page serve different geographic intents. They should not be treated as interchangeable, and Tarboro’s population estimate should not be used as a proxy for demand.
Recommended approach
Use Tarboro as one possible city target and Edgecombe County as the county-level boundary to review. Map the places where your firm actually accepts matters, then compare that service area with the locations you want represented online. A narrower county scope may be more appropriate than statewide coverage if your firm’s capacity, licensure, or client service model is local.
