1. Define what “local” means before coverage begins
Asheville is recorded as a municipality in Buncombe County, North Carolina. That is a useful starting point for geographic governance, but it does not mean every story involving Asheville, Buncombe County, or North Carolina belongs on your site. A firm may serve Asheville, the county, a wider North Carolina market, or a combination of those areas.
Recommended approach
Write a geographic rule for each practice area. Decide whether a page should require an Asheville connection, a Buncombe County connection, a North Carolina connection, or only a clear legal issue relevant to clients you accept. Ask Bosseo to show how that rule would affect story selection. Keep the rule narrow enough to prevent irrelevant coverage and broad enough to reflect your actual service area.
