1. Set the geographic boundary before you assess coverage
Bedford is recorded as a town in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. That relationship matters when you decide what “local” means. A Bedford firm may want coverage limited to New Hampshire, coverage that includes Hillsborough County, or a broader state scope for matters handled throughout New Hampshire. Those are different editorial choices. The available local population figure does not establish search demand, competition, case volume, or revenue, so it should not be used to justify a publishing forecast.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how a proposed Legal News scope would distinguish Bedford, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, and any other areas your firm serves. Decide whether a story must be geographically local, statewide, or simply legally relevant to your practice before it enters review.
