1. Define the geography before you define the newsroom
Rose is a township in Oakland County, Michigan. A Rose-focused page should not silently treat the township as the whole county, a metropolitan area or the entire state. Those are different geographic scopes. The Census population estimate can help confirm that Rose is a real service area, but it cannot tell you how many people search for a particular legal issue or whether a news story will generate inquiries. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. That makes geographic planning important: decide whether the firm wants coverage framed for Rose, Oakland County, Michigan or a combination that accurately reflects its service area.
Recommended approach
Before booking a consultation, list the geographic areas the firm actually serves and separate Rose township from Oakland County and statewide Michigan coverage. Ask how a proposed page would describe the affected area without implying that a statewide event is specific to Rose.
