1. Define the geographic boundary before a story becomes a page
Duluth is a municipality in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Duluth city is 32,426, with a margin of error of 70. That is eligibility and geographic context only; it does not establish legal demand, competition, search volume, case volume, or revenue. A Legal News page should therefore avoid blurring Duluth, Gwinnett County, a judicial circuit, a courthouse, and Georgia as though they were interchangeable. Georgia Courts publishes resources for citizens and legal professionals, but a reference to a Georgia court system or legal development still needs the correct geographic and institutional description.
Recommended approach
Before approving coverage, set a written boundary for each practice area. Decide when a page should say Duluth, when it should say Gwinnett County, and when the relevant scope is statewide Georgia. Ask whether the event actually affects people in the firm’s service area or merely happens to be reported nearby.
