1. Start with Waunakee and Dane County as separate decisions
The Census records Waunakee village in Dane County, Wisconsin, with a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 15,687. That fact can help define the place a page refers to, but it cannot tell you how many people search for a lawyer, which services they need, or whether a page will rank. It also should not be used to justify statewide coverage by itself. Bosseo’s public product page says firms can choose a whole state or only selected counties. For your firm, that creates a concrete scope decision: is Waunakee part of a Dane County footprint, a broader Wisconsin service area, or a smaller set of places that matches your intake policy?
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area policy to the consultation. Mark whether you accept matters from Waunakee, other Dane County communities, and locations beyond the county. Ask Bosseo to evaluate those boundaries against the services you want to promote, without treating population as a demand forecast.
