1. Start with Westminster’s actual service geography
Westminster is a municipality associated with both Adams County and Jefferson County. That relationship matters when a news page explains where an incident, court development, agency action or legal change applies. A page about Colorado law is not automatically a page about Westminster, and a page about one county should not be presented as though it covers every Westminster resident. The city’s 2020–2024 ACS population estimate of 115,484 can help a firm describe the municipality’s scale, but it cannot establish demand for a particular legal topic. Review whether each proposed story has a defensible connection to Westminster, Adams County, Jefferson County, Colorado, or the firm’s broader service area.
Recommended approach
Set a geographic rule before reviewing stories. For each page, identify the exact place named in the underlying coverage, the legal jurisdiction involved, and whether the firm actually serves people affected there.
