1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Bentonville city is a municipality in Benton County, Arkansas. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate for the city is 58,249, with a margin of error of 56. That figure describes the city’s population; it does not establish how many people need legal help, search for a lawyer, call a firm or become clients. It also should not be quietly expanded into a claim about all of Benton County or a wider metropolitan area. A useful dashboard review therefore begins by separating Bentonville city from Benton County and from any other service areas the firm elects to track.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location is represented in the dashboard’s ranking, lead and matter views. Decide whether Bentonville should be a city target, whether Benton County should be a separate county view and which locations should be excluded from a local comparison. Write those geographic rules into the acceptance criteria rather than treating a single population figure as a market forecast.
