1. Start with the geographic question your firm actually serves
Van Alstyne’s municipal boundaries and county relationships matter when you decide which stories are relevant. That does not establish that every county story is relevant to your firm, nor does it define your service area. A firm may serve Van Alstyne only, one county, both counties, a wider Texas area or clients with matters connected to several places. Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes monitoring local and national legal-news sources for a state and matching stories to practice areas. Ask how the proposed coverage would distinguish a Van Alstyne-relevant story from a statewide story with no useful connection to your clients.
Recommended approach
Write down the locations your firm accepts before reviewing examples. Separate Van Alstyne, Collin County, Grayson County, other Texas locations and statewide matters. Then ask Bosseo how geographic relevance is reviewed and how your firm can decline a story that does not fit.
