1. Define what “local” means before coverage begins
Shenango is a municipal township in Lawrence County. That relationship matters because a page about a Pennsylvania legal development is not automatically a Shenango page, and a Lawrence County event is not automatically relevant to every practice. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its service matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. It does not establish that every story will concern Shenango township or Lawrence County. The firm should therefore decide whether its editorial boundary is Shenango, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, or a wider area it actually serves.
Recommended approach
At consultation, ask Bosseo to show how geographic relevance would be assessed for your practice areas. Keep municipality, county, state and any wider service area distinct in page briefs and review decisions. Do not use the Shenango population estimate as a proxy for the size of a legal-news audience.
