1. Choose a footprint that matches the firm’s Red Hill service area
Red Hill is recorded as a census-designated place in Horry County. That relationship matters when you define coverage: a page for Red Hill is not the same geographic statement as a page for Horry County, the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area or South Carolina as a whole. Population does not establish that residents are searching for a particular lawyer or that a page will generate a case. It does establish a clear place to evaluate within the firm’s service map. Bosseo says its engine can cover an entire state or only counties selected by the firm. For a firm centered on Red Hill, the first question is whether the practice truly accepts matters throughout Horry County, additional counties or the state.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to compare a Red Hill-and-Horry County footprint with any broader South Carolina scope only after the firm defines where it actually serves clients. Exclude places the firm does not serve, and do not use population as a substitute for a demand study.
