1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Cheltenham is recorded as a municipal-town in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. That relationship matters because a story can be statewide, countywide, metropolitan or specifically connected to the township, and those are not interchangeable audiences. A page about a Pennsylvania law change may be relevant to a Cheltenham firm without being a Cheltenham news story. Conversely, a local incident may require careful sourcing and restrained language rather than a broad claim about the whole Philadelphia area. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its service matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. It does not establish a particular Cheltenham alert set, Montgomery County newsroom or guaranteed local ranking.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic relevance would be reviewed for your practice. Decide in advance whether your coverage should include Cheltenham, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania or a wider service area. Treat the 38,374 population estimate as a description of the municipality, not as a forecast of demand. Review each proposed page for the exact place named in the underlying story and for whether the geographic language matches your actual service area.
