1. Define what “local” means before coverage begins
Lowell is recorded as a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. That relationship matters when you decide whether a news item belongs on your site. A page about a Massachusetts legal development may be relevant to a Lowell firm, while an item tied to a different state or an unrelated court may not be. Ask Bosseo to show how geographic coverage will be evaluated: Lowell alone, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, or a broader service area chosen by your firm. Those are different scopes and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Recommended approach
Write a coverage rule for your consultation. Specify the municipalities, county relationship, state, courts, agencies, and practice areas that may make a story relevant. Keep the rule narrow enough to protect accuracy and broad enough to reflect the clients you actually serve.
