1. Start with the footprint, not the population number
Weddington is recorded as a municipality in North Carolina, with county relationships to Mecklenburg County and Union County. That relationship matters because a firm may serve Weddington while defining its wider coverage by county, by the whole state, or by another service area. The ACS estimate of 13,805 residents identifies the municipality in the cited period, but it does not show how many people search for a lawyer, which practice areas they need, or whether a particular query is commercially viable. Bosseo says its programmatic SEO offering can be scoped to an entire state or only to counties selected by the firm.
Recommended approach
Ask for a proposed footprint that names Weddington, the relevant county scope, and any additional cities included. Decide whether the firm wants a narrow county-based presence or broader North Carolina coverage only after reviewing service capacity, geographic eligibility, and the firm’s ability to respond to inquiries from each area.
