1. Define San Marino coverage without overstating local demand
San Marino is a municipality in Los Angeles County, California. The Census population estimate is useful for identifying the place and its relationship to the county; it is not evidence that residents are searching for legal services or that a news page will produce a case. A San Marino firm should therefore distinguish three audiences: people in San Marino, people elsewhere in Los Angeles County, and people seeking California-wide guidance. Those are different geographic scopes and should not be blended in page titles, examples or measurement.
Recommended approach
Start with a written coverage decision. Specify whether the firm wants pages framed around San Marino, Los Angeles County, California, or a combination that is genuinely relevant to the practice. Review each proposed story against that decision rather than treating every California event as local.
