1. Set the geographic brief before reviewing stories
Cheektowaga is a municipal town in Erie County, New York. That exact relationship matters because “local” can mean a town incident, an Erie County proceeding, a New York rule change or a statewide development with consequences for your clients. Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes coverage matched to a firm’s practice areas and state, while also describing local and national sources. The service page does not establish that every Cheektowaga or Erie County story will be identified, nor does it promise a particular volume of relevant coverage.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review how a proposed coverage brief would distinguish Cheektowaga, Erie County and New York. Decide which geographic references are useful for your practice and which would create pages outside your service area. Keep households, individuals and population separate when assessing the town: the Census population estimate is not a proxy for legal demand.
