1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing stories
Merrimack is recorded as a municipal town in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. That distinction matters because a firm may serve people in Merrimack, elsewhere in Hillsborough County, or across New Hampshire, while a news item may concern a different place or a statewide legal change. The population estimate describes the town; it does not show that residents are searching for legal news or that a particular subject will produce inquiries. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to the firm’s practice areas and state. Ask how that state-level coverage would be narrowed, labeled, or expanded for your actual service area.
Recommended approach
Use Merrimack as a defined local audience, Hillsborough County as a separate geographic consideration, and New Hampshire as the state boundary. Review whether each proposed page should speak to local residents, county residents, or people affected anywhere in the state. Do not treat a Merrimack population figure as a forecast.
