1. Start with the exact geography your firm serves
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 17,686, with a margin of error of 39. A firm should therefore define whether a page is intended for Muskegon, Muskegon County, a broader Michigan audience, or more than one area. Those are different editorial choices. Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes monitoring local and national legal-news sources for a state and matching stories to practice areas. The firm should ask how that state-level coverage would be reviewed for relevance to its actual Muskegon service area.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area rule to the consultation. It should identify the places the firm is prepared to serve and the places it does not want implied by a page. Ask for an editorial review of whether a story’s location, legal issue, and call to action fit that rule before publication.
