1. Set the geographic boundary before a story is relevant
Village St. George is a census-designated place in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. A story about Louisiana law may be relevant to a firm serving Village St. George, while a story tied to another jurisdiction may not be. The place name alone does not determine whether readers can use the information or whether the firm serves them. Bosseo’s public Legal News page says its system matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. That stated scope is broader than Village St. George and should not be treated as proof that every local story will be covered or suitable for publication.
Recommended approach
Decide whether your editorial scope is Village St. George, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana or another clearly defined service area. Review each proposed page for jurisdiction, affected people, practice-area fit and whether the call to action accurately describes where the firm accepts matters.
