1. Define the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Hillsboro is a municipality in Hill County, Texas. That relationship matters because a page about an event in Hillsboro is not automatically a page about every community in Hill County, and a Texas-wide legal development is not automatically local to Hillsboro. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its system matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. Your consultation should determine whether the firm wants coverage centered on Hillsboro, Hill County, wider Texas developments, or a combination. The available Census population figure describes Hillsboro city only; it cannot establish the size of a legal-news audience across the county or state.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic policy to the review. Separate local incidents, Hill County developments and Texas legal changes, then decide which categories deserve attorney commentary and which should be excluded. Ask how each category will be identified and how the firm will prevent a page from implying a local connection that the underlying story does not support.
