1. Define the geographic boundary before a story becomes a page
Home Gardens is a census-designated place in Riverside County, California. A page about an incident in Home Gardens is not automatically a page about every Riverside County community, and a Riverside County story is not automatically local to Home Gardens. That distinction matters when a reader wants to know whether a legal development affects them. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state, with pages published on the firm’s own domain after approval. It does not establish that every page will use a particular city boundary or that a Home Gardens-specific story will exist. Ask how geographic relevance would be handled before approving coverage.
Recommended approach
Set a written geographic policy for Home Gardens, Riverside County, and broader California coverage. Review whether each proposed page clearly identifies the location involved, avoids implying that a countywide event occurred in Home Gardens, and explains why the topic is relevant to the firm’s intended audience.
