1. Local scope should guide story selection
Indian River Estates is recorded as a CDP in St. Lucie County. A firm serving this community may also care about matters involving broader Florida coverage or another jurisdiction, but the location record alone does not tell you which topics residents search for or which legal services they need. The useful question is where your firm can practice and which readers you intend to serve. Bosseo’s Legal News reference describes matching coverage to practice areas and state relevance. the service focus also calls for using Miami-Dade jurisdiction and practice relevance when selecting news; that jurisdiction should not be treated as a fact about Indian River Estates or St. Lucie County.
Recommended approach
Set a geographic rule before approving coverage. Separate Indian River Estates and St. Lucie County relevance from statewide Florida developments and from Miami-Dade matters. Approve a story only when its jurisdiction, audience, and connection to an actual practice area are clear.
