1. Set the geographic boundary before discussing budget
Sturtevant is recorded as a municipality in Racine County. That relationship matters because a firm may describe its service area by municipality, county or surrounding areas, while Google’s advertising settings require deliberate choices about geography. Sturtevant’s population estimate—6,772 for the 2020–2024 ACS 5-year period—should not be treated as evidence of search demand, competition or likely inquiries. It is context for the place, not a forecast. Bosseo’s public Local Service Ads page describes category and geography targeting as part of its program. The relevant decision is therefore whether your firm wants Sturtevant specifically, Racine County more broadly, or another defined service area.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area boundary to the consultation. Ask how Sturtevant and Racine County would be represented in the profile, which locations can be excluded, and how inquiries outside your preferred geography would be identified and reviewed.
