1. Define exactly where your firm serves
St. Johnsbury is a municipal town in Vermont’s Caledonia County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 7,368 residents, with a margin of error of 27. That is geographic and population context only; it does not establish legal demand, competition, search volume, leads or revenue. Your first AI SEO decision is therefore a coverage decision: should the site describe St. Johnsbury alone, Caledonia County as a broader service area, Vermont statewide work, or another geography your firm actually serves?
Recommended approach
Review every location and service page for precise relationships among St. Johnsbury, Caledonia County and Vermont. Do not use population as a reason to create pages or as evidence that a practice area will generate inquiries. Build pages only where the firm can provide accurate, useful information for the people and places it serves.
