1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Potomac Park is recorded as a CDP in Kern County, California. A Potomac Park page, a Kern County page, a broader California page, and a page about a metropolitan area would not represent the same geographic scope. The relevant question is whether a story has a defensible connection to your service area and practice. A statewide change may matter to a California firm; a Kern County proceeding may be more locally useful; an incident outside the firm’s service area may not justify a page at all. Bosseo’s public description says stories are matched to the firm’s practice areas and state. Ask how that state-level scope would be reviewed for a firm serving Potomac Park and Kern County.
Recommended approach
Write a geographic policy before approving coverage. Identify whether the firm serves Potomac Park only, Kern County, other California locations, or a wider area. Require every proposed page to state why the event or legal change is relevant to that audience. Do not use the 10,138 population estimate as a forecast of demand.
