1. Set the geographic brief before monitoring begins
Bedford is a municipality in Tarrant County, Texas. That relationship matters because a legal-news brief should distinguish coverage relevant to Bedford from coverage relevant to Tarrant County, the wider Texas market, or another location your firm serves. It does, however, give you a defined place to use when deciding whether a story has local relevance. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state, and its page examples refer to local and national sources monitored for a state. The public description does not establish a Bedford-specific alert volume or a guaranteed level of local coverage.
Recommended approach
Write down the exact geographic scope you want reviewed: Bedford, Tarrant County, Texas, or a combination. Ask how a story is assessed when it concerns the state but not Bedford or Tarrant County.
