1. Set the geographic boundary before discussing coverage
Bosseo describes its Legal News service as monitoring local and national legal-news sources for a state and matching stories to a firm’s practice areas. For your firm, the initial geographic question is not simply whether a story mentions Keller. It is whether the story is relevant to Keller, Tarrant County, a wider Texas audience, or more than one of those audiences. Keller is recorded as a municipality in Tarrant County, Texas, and the Census population estimate applies to Keller city—not to the county, the Dallas–Fort Worth area, Texas households, or every person who may seek counsel. Keep those geographic categories separate when reviewing potential coverage. A Keller incident may be locally relevant, while a Texas statute or appellate decision may affect people across the state. Each type of story calls for a different audience statement and call to action.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how your geographic scope would be described for local incidents, Tarrant County issues and statewide legal developments. Approve pages only when the location, affected audience and service boundary are stated accurately. Do not use Keller’s population as a proxy for demand or expected inquiries.
