1. Define the geographic audience before choosing stories
Pullman is recorded as a municipality in Whitman County, Washington. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year estimate records 32,229 residents, with a margin of error of 45. That figure describes the city’s population estimate; it does not establish legal-news demand, search volume, competition, leads or revenue. It also does not describe every person your firm may serve. Your actual audience may be limited to Pullman, extend across Whitman County, or include other Washington locations. Those are different geographic choices and should not be blended into one label. Bosseo’s public Legal News page says its system matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. Ask how your intended Pullman and Whitman County coverage would be defined, reviewed and measured.
Recommended approach
Write down the geographic scope you want the service to address: Pullman only, Whitman County, Washington, or a combination that your firm can explain accurately. Use that scope when reviewing proposed topics and page language. Do not use the population estimate as a substitute for a demand assessment.
