1. Set the geographic boundary before discussing news coverage
Kerrville and Kerr County are related but not interchangeable. The Census record identifies Kerrville city as a municipality and records its county relationship as Kerr County. A firm may serve people in the city, elsewhere in the county or across Texas, but the population estimate for Kerrville city does not establish the size of any legal audience outside that municipality. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its monitoring and matching are oriented to a firm’s state and practice areas. That leaves an important pre-purchase question: how would a Kerrville firm decide which stories are relevant to its actual service territory?
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic brief to the consultation. Separate Kerrville city, Kerr County and Texas into distinct coverage choices. Ask which geographic references should trigger review, which should be excluded and whether the firm wants a story considered because it affects local residents, Texas law or a defined practice area. Do not approve a page merely because a story is geographically nearby; approve it only when the jurisdiction, audience and legal subject fit the firm.
