1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
A location page should distinguish Beaumont city from Jefferson County, the broader Texas market and any other places your firm serves. The U.S. Census Bureau records Beaumont as a municipality in Jefferson County. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year estimate records 113,279 residents, with a margin of error of 107. That is population context only. It cannot show how many people need legal help, how many are searching, how many firms compete or how many inquiries a page will produce. For AI SEO, the practical issue is whether your site describes your service area accurately instead of blending nearby geographies into one unsupported claim.
Recommended approach
Review every location reference on your website. Decide which pages should address Beaumont, which should address Jefferson County and which should address other Texas locations. Keep the firm name, office information, service areas and practice descriptions consistent. Measure inquiries by the geography the prospective client actually identifies, rather than treating the city population as a forecast.
