1. Define what “local” means before coverage begins
Belle Chasse is a census-designated place in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. A page about a Louisiana legal development, a Plaquemines Parish matter and a Belle Chasse incident do not have the same geographic scope. Legal News can be evaluated against the locations your firm actually serves, but the decision should be explicit: which stories are statewide, which are parish-specific and which are relevant to Belle Chasse itself? A firm serving nearby communities may also need a broader Louisiana boundary, while a firm seeking tightly local coverage may reject stories that lack a clear connection to its service area.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area definition to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to show how potential stories would be matched to your practice areas and state, then decide whether Plaquemines Parish, Belle Chasse or a broader Louisiana audience is appropriate for each coverage category.
