1. Set the geographic brief before reviewing stories
Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes monitoring local and national legal-news sources for a state and matching stories to a firm’s practice areas. For a Middleton firm, the geographic brief should distinguish Middleton from Dane County, the wider Madison-area market, and Wisconsin generally. The available location record identifies Middleton as a municipality in Dane County; it does not establish a metropolitan search area or show that people in every nearby community seek the same services. A story involving Wisconsin law may be relevant even when it is not about Middleton, while a local incident may be unsuitable if it does not create a question your attorneys handle.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how a proposed coverage scope would separate Middleton, Dane County, and statewide topics. Decide which geographic references are appropriate for each practice area, and reject pages that imply a local connection the facts do not support.
