1. Define the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Ashburnham is a municipal town in Worcester County, Massachusetts. That relationship matters because a story involving Massachusetts law may be relevant to an Ashburnham practice without being an Ashburnham incident. Conversely, a story from elsewhere in the state may not belong on a page that appears to speak about local facts. Decide whether the firm wants coverage framed around Ashburnham, Worcester County, Massachusetts, or a combination that can be explained accurately.
Recommended approach
Create a geographic review rule for each practice area. Before approval, check the story location, governing law, people affected, and the page’s wording. If a proposed page cannot explain why it matters to clients served from Ashburnham or elsewhere in the firm’s stated Massachusetts territory, skip it or request a narrower angle.
