1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing stories
Grapevine is recorded as a municipality, and the Census record identifies Dallas County, Denton County, and Tarrant County in its county relationships. That is a geographic fact, not evidence that every story from those counties belongs on your site. A personal-injury firm may review incidents that raise questions for people in a defined Texas service area. A criminal-defense firm may need a different boundary. An estate-planning firm may find statewide legislative or appellate developments more useful than incident coverage. Legal News can monitor stories for a state and match them to practice areas, but the firm still needs to decide what geographic connection makes a page useful to a prospective client.
Recommended approach
Begin with a written coverage boundary: Grapevine, selected county relationships, Texas, or another area the firm actually serves. Review whether each proposed story has a defensible connection to that boundary and to a listed practice area. Do not use the Grapevine population estimate to justify a market-size claim.
