1. Start with the geographic question, not the population number
Union’s recorded county relationships create an accuracy issue for every local legal-news page. A story involving Union may also concern Miami County, Montgomery County, or Ohio more broadly, but those are not interchangeable labels. A page should make its geographic scope clear rather than treating the city and both counties as one audience. The Census record identifies Union as a municipality and reports a population estimate of 7,037 for the 2020–2024 ACS five-year period; it does not show that residents are searching for legal news or that a particular topic will produce inquiries. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its service matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state, while its product copy also describes local and national source monitoring. Before booking, ask how geographic relevance would be handled for a firm that serves Union and selected surrounding areas.
Recommended approach
Define an approved geographic policy before evaluating sample coverage. Separate Union stories from Miami County stories, Montgomery County stories, and statewide Ohio developments. Decide which locations may appear in headlines, explanatory sections, calls to action, and internal reporting. Treat any proposed local topic as a subject for review, not as proof of demand.
