1. Define the geographic coverage before reviewing headlines
For an East Norriton firm, geographic precision matters because East Norriton township and Montgomery County are different geographic references. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state, and describes monitoring of local and national sources across the firm’s state. That does not, by itself, establish that every page will target East Norriton or that a story will be locally relevant to Montgomery County. The firm should decide whether its editorial territory is East Norriton, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, or a combination. The Census record places East Norriton in Montgomery County and reports 14,106 residents, but the population estimate should not be used as a forecast of readership or inquiries.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic policy to the consultation. Specify which locations may appear in headlines, examples and calls to action, and require a relevance check when a story concerns a different Pennsylvania community. Review whether state-level coverage would support the firm’s actual service area without implying a local connection that the story does not have.
