1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Plainsboro is a municipal township in Middlesex County, New Jersey. A firm may serve people in Plainsboro, elsewhere in Middlesex County, across New Jersey, or in another defined territory. Those are different audiences. A story described as statewide coverage should not be presented as a Plainsboro event, and a Middlesex County issue should not automatically be treated as relevant to every household or individual in the township. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its pages are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. That makes geographic scoping an important purchase question: how will the firm decide when a state-level development deserves a local explanation, and when a story is outside its service area?
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area map to the consultation. Separate Plainsboro, Middlesex County and the rest of New Jersey, then identify which areas the firm is permitted and prepared to serve. Review proposed story categories against that map before discussing publication volume or page design.
