1. Set the geographic boundary before selecting stories
Carolina Forest is a CDP, not a synonym for all of Horry County, the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area or South Carolina. A page aimed at people in Carolina Forest should not imply that every county resident, coastal community or statewide reader has the same legal question. The location record identifies Carolina Forest’s county relationship as Horry County. That makes geography a practical editorial decision: a story may matter because it affects Carolina Forest residents, because it concerns an Horry County institution or roadway, or because it changes South Carolina law. Those are different angles and should be described accurately.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to evaluate coverage by exact place and legal scope. Review whether a proposed page should say Carolina Forest, Horry County or South Carolina, and remove broader geographic language unless the story supports it. Do not use the population estimate as a forecast of demand. Use it only to explain why the location is a defined service area that deserves deliberate geographic handling.
