1. Start with the Socastee service area, not a population promise
Socastee is in Horry County, South Carolina. The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 23,796 residents, with a margin of error of 2,165. For reputation work, the geographic distinction matters because a firm may serve Socastee while operating from elsewhere in Horry County or serving a broader South Carolina market. Your review and profile decisions should therefore reflect the territory your firm actually serves, rather than attach unsupported claims to a place name.
Recommended approach
Map the locations and matter types you are prepared to serve. Then review whether your Google Business Profile, website contact points and review-request language describe that coverage accurately. Keep Socastee, Horry County and South Carolina distinct when deciding which inquiries count as relevant.
