1. Set the geographic boundary before discussing news coverage
Brockton is a city in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. That distinction matters when a firm decides whether a page should address Brockton, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, or a broader service area. Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes monitoring local and national legal-news sources for a firm’s state and matching stories to practice areas. A Brockton firm should therefore decide which geographic relationships are legally and operationally relevant before evaluating a story. A Massachusetts statute may merit statewide treatment, while an incident page may require careful wording about the location and the firm’s service area.
Recommended approach
Create a written geographic rule for each practice area. Review whether a proposed page should mention Brockton, Plymouth County, another Massachusetts location, or no specific locality.
