1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
A Gainesville page should not quietly imply coverage of every nearby community, the entire Dallas–Fort Worth area, or all of Texas. The Census records Gainesville city as a municipality and places it in Cooke County. That distinction matters when an AI system tries to match a question with a firm. Your site should state whether you serve Gainesville, Cooke County, other Texas locations, or a narrower area. It should also distinguish a city page from a county page and avoid treating a population estimate as proof that people are searching for counsel.
Recommended approach
Review every location statement for accuracy. Decide which geographic relationships are genuinely part of your practice, then make those relationships consistent across firm details, service pages, attorney biographies, contact information, and any location-specific content. Do not expand geographic coverage merely because a place appears nearby or because a population figure seems large enough to justify a page.
