1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
That relationship matters because a West Bend firm may need to distinguish city-specific coverage from countywide, Wisconsin or broader state coverage. A story connected to West Bend may warrant a local page; a Washington County development may need a county reference; a Wisconsin legal change may be relevant without being described as a West Bend event.
Recommended approach
Before a consultation, list the places your firm actually serves and the practice areas attached to each place. Ask whether a proposed page should address West Bend, Washington County, Wisconsin or another defined service area. Do not describe a statewide story as local merely because the firm is located in West Bend.
