1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Bosseo’s public Legal News description refers to stories matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. For a firm serving Maryland Heights, the starting boundary is Missouri, with Maryland Heights identified as a municipality in St. Louis County. That does not mean every Missouri story belongs on the site, and it does not turn St. Louis County into a guaranteed service area. A useful review should ask whether a proposed story has a real connection to the people and legal questions the firm serves. A statewide law change may be relevant even when it does not mention Maryland Heights. A distant incident may be unsuitable if the page offers no meaningful legal explanation for local readers.
Recommended approach
Define acceptable geographic relationships in advance: Maryland Heights, St. Louis County, Missouri-wide legal changes, and any additional service areas the firm actually serves. Review each proposed page against that boundary rather than treating population as a proxy for demand.
