1. Start with the firm’s actual geographic scope
Swarthmore borough is a municipality in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for the borough is 6,550, with a margin of error of 23. That is a measured population estimate, not a count of legal searches, prospective clients, cases or revenue. A Legal News review should therefore distinguish a page intended for Swarthmore from coverage intended for Delaware County, Pennsylvania or a wider service area. The service’s public description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state; it does not establish that every story will be locally relevant to Swarthmore or that a local story will generate inquiries.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic map to the consultation: Swarthmore borough, Delaware County, Pennsylvania and any additional area the firm deliberately serves. Ask how a story is judged relevant to each area, when a statewide item is useful to a local audience, and when local specificity would be too thin to support a page.
