1. Define the geographic boundary before choosing stories
A Mobile firm can serve people in Mobile city, elsewhere in Mobile County, or across Alabama. Those are not interchangeable audiences. A story involving a Mobile location may be locally relevant, while a statewide law or appellate decision may matter to a broader Alabama practice. The Census record identifies Mobile city’s county relationship as Mobile County; it does not establish where your clients live or where your firm accepts matters. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. That makes geographic policy a firm decision rather than something population data can answer.
Recommended approach
Write down the geographic scope you want reviewers to use: Mobile city, Mobile County, Alabama, or a combination. For each practice area, decide whether a page should explain a local incident, a statewide legal change, or a broader development. Ask Bosseo to show how geographic relevance is handled before approving coverage.
