1. Define the geographic boundary before selecting stories
Fraser is a city in Macomb County, Michigan. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 14,583 residents, with a margin of error of 41. That is geographic and population context, not evidence of legal demand, search volume or competition. A Fraser firm should therefore decide whether its Legal News coverage is meant for Fraser alone, Macomb County, Michigan, or another service area the firm actually serves. Those are different editorial scopes. A statewide law change may be relevant to a Fraser practice, while an incident elsewhere in Michigan may not be useful to the firm’s intended audience. The page should make the affected geography clear without suggesting that a city population predicts inquiries.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review how proposed stories would be filtered by practice area and Michigan geography. Decide whether Fraser-specific incidents, Macomb County developments and statewide legal changes each warrant publication, and establish a rule for excluding stories outside the firm’s service area.
