1. Set the geographic boundary before selecting stories
Whitestown is recorded as a municipal town in Oneida County, New York. A firm serving Whitestown may also serve clients elsewhere, but that broader service area should be decided by the firm rather than assumed from the town’s population. Legal News should therefore be assessed against the places the firm is actually prepared to discuss and serve. A story relevant to New York may be useful, while a story relevant only to another jurisdiction may not be. Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes monitoring local and national legal-news sources for a state and matching stories to practice areas. It does not establish a Whitestown-specific feed, local office or local client result.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic scope to the consultation: Whitestown, Oneida County, New York, or another clearly defined combination. Ask how that scope would affect story selection, page language and calls to action. Keep municipal, county and statewide references distinct so a reader is not led to believe that a statewide development is a Whitestown-specific event.
