1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing stories
Sheridan is recorded as a city in Yamhill County, Oregon. That relationship matters because a timely legal story can be local, countywide, statewide, or relevant to people who travel through the area. A page about a Sheridan incident should not be presented as though it describes all of Yamhill County. Conversely, a statewide legal change may be useful to a Sheridan firm even when Sheridan is not named. The population estimate for Sheridan should not be used to predict how many people will search, call, or retain counsel. Use it only as context when deciding whether a page should speak narrowly to Sheridan residents, to Yamhill County, or to Oregon readers more broadly.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic coverage would be reviewed for Sheridan, Yamhill County, and Oregon. Define which locations may appear in titles, introductions, examples, and calls to action. Keep the location relationship accurate on every page, and treat geography as a review question rather than a proxy for demand.
