1. Start with Piqua and Miami County coverage—not population assumptions
The Census records Piqua as a municipality in Miami County and reports a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 20,646, with a margin of error of 20. That fact can help define a local service area, but it cannot establish how many people search for legal information, how many competitors publish about it, or how many inquiries a news page could generate. The right geography may differ by subject. A local incident may call for careful Piqua or Miami County framing, while a statewide law or appellate decision may require Ohio-wide explanation.
Recommended approach
Create a written geographic policy before approving coverage. For each story, decide whether the page should address Piqua, Miami County, Ohio, or another area your firm actually serves.
