1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing stories
Josephine is recorded as a municipality in Collin County and Hunt County. That relationship matters because a firm may describe its service area in several different ways: the city itself, one or both counties, a broader Texas service area or another defined geography. Those are not interchangeable. A story relevant to Texas may not be locally relevant to Josephine, while a county-level development may matter to a firm that serves residents beyond the city. Bosseo’s public Legal News page says its system matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. It does not establish a Josephine-specific editorial boundary, local source list or local performance result.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic relevance would be reviewed for your firm. Decide whether the desired editorial scope is Josephine, Collin County, Hunt County, Texas or a clearly stated combination. Do not use the city’s population estimate as a proxy for the number of people searching, potential matters or expected leads.
