1. Start with Redmond’s actual geographic scope
Your firm may serve Redmond, Deschutes County, Oregon, or a wider service area. Those are not interchangeable audiences. Redmond city is recorded as a municipality in Deschutes County. A story about an Oregon statute may be relevant across the state, while a story tied to a particular road, court, agency or incident may require narrower wording. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says pages are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. That makes geographic review important: a Redmond firm should decide when a page should name Redmond, when it should refer to Deschutes County, and when Oregon is the accurate scope.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area map to the consultation. Separate the city, county and state audiences, then review whether each proposed news topic fits the people your firm actually serves. Do not use the Redmond population estimate as a forecast of legal demand or page performance.
