1. Define the geographic boundary before selecting stories
Rio Grande City is a municipality in Starr County, Texas. A page intended for Rio Grande City should not quietly broaden its claim to all of Starr County, another city, a metropolitan area or Texas as a whole. Those are different geographic scopes. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its system monitors local and national legal-news sources for a state and matches stories to a firm’s practice areas. That national and state-level scope may be useful for statewide legal developments, but it does not by itself establish that a story is relevant to Rio Grande City residents or to your firm’s service area.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how a proposed story would be framed geographically. Separate pages about a Texas law or agency action from pages about Starr County or Rio Grande City events. Decide whether each page should address the municipality, the county, Texas or a broader audience, and use the firm’s actual service boundary in the call to action.
