1. Define what “local” means before a story is selected
Concord is a municipal town in Erie County, New York. A page intended for people in Concord should not automatically describe every New York story as local, and a page about Erie County should not imply that every affected reader lives inside Concord. The firm should decide whether its service area includes Concord alone, Erie County more broadly, a New York metropolitan area, or several distinct geographic audiences. Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes matching stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. It does not establish a Concord-specific monitoring configuration.
Recommended approach
At consultation, map each practice area to the geographic scope the firm actually serves. Review whether a proposed article should name Concord, Erie County, New York, or no locality at all. Treat the Census population estimate as context for the municipality, not as a proxy for legal-news demand. Source IDs: census-place, bosseo-products
