1. Start with the exact footprint: Midlothian and Ellis County
Midlothian is recorded as a municipality in Ellis County. That distinction matters when you decide whether your website should address Midlothian alone, cities throughout Ellis County, or a broader Texas footprint. A population estimate describes the municipality; it does not describe every household, individual, or legal need in the county. Nor does it show how many people search for a lawyer or how many firms compete for a query.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to compare a Midlothian-centered scope with an Ellis County scope before choosing statewide coverage. List the cities and counties your firm actually serves, then remove places where you cannot provide a meaningful service. Treat the Census population as geographic context only, and use your own intake records, service area, and case-selection rules to define a practical footprint.
