1. Scope Hewitt without confusing population with demand
The Census record identifies Hewitt city, Texas, and places it in McLennan County. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 16,432, with a margin of error of 25. That fact can help you describe the geography you are considering, but it cannot tell you how many people search for a lawyer, which services they need, or whether competitors are strong. Hewitt is also not the same geographic unit as McLennan County, the Waco metropolitan area, Texas, a household or an individual. Those distinctions matter when a page says where your firm serves.
Recommended approach
Treat Hewitt as one possible city in a larger service footprint. In consultation, decide whether the firm wants a Hewitt page, pages for other cities in McLennan County, county-level coverage, or a broader Texas footprint. Keep each page’s service area precise rather than using the population figure as a reason to publish everywhere.
