1. Start with Marshfield’s actual geographic scope
Marshfield is a municipal town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. The Census record describes the town and reports a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 25,879, with a margin of error of 28. That fact can help you define a local editorial boundary, but it cannot establish how many people search for legal information, whether they need counsel, or how crowded a result page may be. A useful review should distinguish stories specifically involving Marshfield from developments affecting Plymouth County, Massachusetts, or a broader area your firm actually serves. It should also distinguish household, individual, town, county, and state references when deciding whether a story belongs on your site.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how a proposed story would be classified geographically before you approve it. Set a written rule for Marshfield-specific coverage, Plymouth County coverage, and Massachusetts-wide legal developments. Do not use the town’s population as a forecast.
