1. Start with Cornelius and Washington County—not an invented market signal
The firm’s location should shape the editorial boundary. Cornelius is a city in Washington County, Oregon; it is not interchangeable with the county, the Portland metropolitan area or the state as a whole. The Census estimate of 14,255 residents is useful for identifying the municipality being discussed.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic language for each practice before reviewing topics. For example, decide whether a page should address Cornelius, Washington County, Oregon law, or a broader state event. Keep the place named in the source story separate from the place where your firm accepts matters. That distinction helps prevent a page about a statewide legal development from implying that the event occurred in Cornelius.
