1. Define the geographic coverage before selecting stories
Your firm may serve Davenport, Scott County, a broader Iowa market, or a combination of those areas. Those are different editorial scopes. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its system monitors local and national legal-news sources for a state and matches stories to practice areas. It does not establish a Davenport-specific source list, local demand level or guaranteed visibility. Davenport’s identified county relationship is Scott County; that fact can help you decide whether a story involving Davenport or Scott County belongs in your review queue, but it does not show that people will search for it or contact your firm.
Recommended approach
Write down the exact geography each practice area serves. Ask how a proposed page will distinguish Davenport and Scott County matters from statewide Iowa coverage. Review whether a story is useful to the people you actually represent rather than treating every Iowa headline as locally relevant.
