1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Fort Washington is a census-designated place in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. That relationship matters when you decide whether a story should mention Fort Washington, Montgomery County, another Pennsylvania community, or a broader market. A population estimate for the CDP is not evidence that residents are searching for legal news, and it should not be used to predict case volume. The useful decision is editorial: identify the geography your firm actually serves and keep each page accurate about where an incident, court action, law or rule applies. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its system matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state, while publishing pages on the firm’s own domain after approval.
Recommended approach
Prepare a written coverage boundary for the consultation. Separate Fort Washington from Montgomery County and from any wider Pennsylvania or metropolitan area the firm serves. Ask how the proposed service would handle a statewide legal development, a Montgomery County matter and a story with no defensible local connection. Require geographic language that describes the event accurately rather than implying that every Pennsylvania story is a Fort Washington story.
