1. Start with the geographic footprint, not a population-based forecast
Edgewood is recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau as a city in Pierce County, Washington, with a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 13,032 and a margin of error of 25. That number can help identify the municipality and its county relationship. It cannot establish how many people search for a lawyer, which services they need, how many firms compete for those searches, or how many inquiries a page might produce. Bosseo’s public Programmatic SEO page describes two geographic choices: statewide coverage or a tighter footprint limited to selected counties. For an Edgewood firm, the practical decision is whether Pierce County reflects the firm’s real intake territory, whether neighboring counties belong in scope, and whether a broader Washington footprint is appropriate.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to map the proposed cities and services against your actual service area. Treat Edgewood and Pierce County as geographic inputs, then review the resulting coverage rather than treating the Census estimate as a forecast.
