1. Set the geographic boundary before a story becomes a page
Chanhassen’s recorded county relationships are Carver County and Hennepin County, and the city is in Minnesota. Those relationships matter when a news item concerns a court, agency, roadway, rule, or other place-specific issue. They do not mean that every Chanhassen reader needs county-specific commentary, and they do not authorize the firm to describe a metropolitan or statewide event as local to Chanhassen. A Legal News decision should therefore begin with a geographic map: city, county or counties, the relevant metropolitan area if applicable, and Minnesota. The page should use only the area that the story and the firm’s service actually support.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic relevance would be reviewed for your practice areas. Decide in advance when a page should name Chanhassen, when it should discuss Carver or Hennepin County, and when Minnesota-wide treatment is more accurate. Keep those choices separate from assumptions about population or demand.
