1. Define the geographic brief before reviewing news
Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its system monitors local and national legal-news sources for a firm’s state and matches stories to practice areas. For a firm serving Northbridge, the geographic brief should therefore distinguish Northbridge from Worcester County and from Massachusetts as a whole. A page about a Massachusetts statute may be relevant statewide; a page about an incident elsewhere may not be useful to a Northbridge audience unless the legal issue genuinely applies to the firm’s practice. The Census record places Northbridge in Worcester County, but it does not establish which subjects residents search for or whether any story will produce an inquiry.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how a Northbridge-serving firm would set geographic relevance for each practice area. Review whether the intended coverage includes Northbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts, or a combination, and decide when a statewide development merits local explanation. Keep that rule visible during approval so the firm does not publish geographically misleading commentary.
