1. Define the geographic brief before evaluating coverage
Frankfort and Clinton County are not interchangeable with Indiana as a whole. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its monitoring is matched to a firm’s practice areas and state, while its examples refer to local and national sources across a state. A Frankfort firm should therefore ask how a proposed service would distinguish a story relevant to Frankfort, one relevant to Clinton County, and one relevant elsewhere in Indiana. The Census record identifies Frankfort city as a municipality in Clinton County; it does not show where prospective clients search, how far they travel, or which incidents create legal inquiries.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic brief to the consultation. State whether the desired coverage is Frankfort, Clinton County, Indiana, or a combination, and identify which locations should be named only when they are genuinely part of a story. Ask to review how relevance would be judged before approving pages.
