1. Set the geographic boundary before a story becomes a page
Clawson is a municipality in Oakland County, Michigan. A page about a statewide law change may be relevant to a Clawson firm, while a page about an incident in another community may require a different geographic explanation. Do not treat Clawson, Oakland County, the Detroit metropolitan area and Michigan as interchangeable. The right scope depends on the legal question and the firm’s service area. Bosseo’s Legal News page describes coverage matched to a firm’s practice areas and state, with pages published on the firm’s own domain after approval. That makes geographic review a central decision, not a cosmetic edit.
Recommended approach
Create a geographic rule for each practice area. Decide when a page should say Clawson, Oakland County, Michigan or a broader area, and remove location language that the underlying story does not support. Ask Bosseo how geographic relevance is handled for a firm whose office is in or serves Clawson and whose matters may extend beyond the city.
