1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Morris township and Morris County are not interchangeable labels. The Census record identifies Morris township as a municipal town and records its county relationship as Morris County. Your firm may serve the township, other Morris County communities, a wider New Jersey market, or a combination of those areas. Legal News should therefore be evaluated against your actual service boundary rather than against a population figure. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its monitoring is matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. That supports a state-level coverage discussion, but it does not by itself establish township-level coverage, local demand or a particular story volume.
Recommended approach
Bring a precise service-area description to the consultation. Ask how a New Jersey story would be assessed for relevance to people in Morris township, Morris County or elsewhere in the state, and decide which geographic references are appropriate for each practice area. Do not use the township’s population estimate as a forecast of inquiries.
