1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Wilkins is recorded as a municipal-town in Allegheny County. A page about a Pennsylvania legal development may be relevant to a firm serving Wilkins, but Wilkins township, Allegheny County, the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and Pennsylvania are not interchangeable audiences. A Wilkins office may serve only a defined local area, or it may accept matters across a wider Pennsylvania geography. The location decision therefore belongs in the editorial scope, not as an afterthought. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its system matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. It does not establish that every story will be locally relevant to Wilkins or that a page will attract a qualified inquiry.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to define the proposed geographic coverage in writing: Wilkins only, Allegheny County, a broader service area, or Pennsylvania. Require each proposed page to make its geographic relevance clear without implying that a statewide event occurred in Wilkins. Review whether local incidents, county proceedings, statewide laws and appellate decisions belong in separate editorial categories.
