1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Cheektowaga is a census-designated place in Erie County. That relationship matters because a firm may serve people in Cheektowaga while practicing across Erie County, another defined service area, or New York more broadly. Those are different editorial choices. A Cheektowaga-focused page should not silently become an Erie County claim, and a New York legal development should not be presented as a Cheektowaga event unless the facts support that connection. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its system monitors legal-news sources for a state and matches stories to practice areas and state. The firm still needs to decide which geographic relationships are useful to its clients.
Recommended approach
At consultation, define separate categories for Cheektowaga, Erie County, New York, and any other area the firm actually serves. Review proposed coverage against those categories. Treat the Census population figure as a way to confirm the place being discussed—not as a forecast of demand or a reason to publish more pages.
