1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Your service area should be explicit before a timely story is considered publishable. Pasadena is a city in Los Angeles County; those are not interchangeable geographic labels. A page about a California law may be relevant statewide, while a page about an incident may require careful treatment of the precise place involved. The Pasadena population estimate is useful for identifying the municipality, but it cannot establish that residents are searching for a particular legal topic or that a story will produce inquiries. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. That makes geographic and practice-area rules a central review question for your firm.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo how your coverage would distinguish Pasadena, Los Angeles County, California-wide developments, and stories outside your service area. Decide which geographic references belong on a page, which require attorney review, and which should be excluded. Do not use the Pasadena population figure as a substitute for query or inquiry evidence.
