1. Start with the geographic definition, not a generic market total
The U.S. Census Bureau records Healdsburg as a city in Sonoma County and gives the city a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 11,243, with a margin of error of 47. That is geographic and population context only. It does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, leads or revenue. A dashboard should therefore distinguish Healdsburg city from Sonoma County and any wider service area your firm chooses to report. Otherwise, a county-level contact may appear to be a Healdsburg result, or a Healdsburg inquiry may be combined with unrelated geography.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing performance, write down the exact geography for each report: Healdsburg city, Sonoma County, another California location, or a broader area. Ask Bosseo to show how geography is represented in keyword, call, form and lead records. Treat any location field as a measurement choice that needs a definition, not as proof of demand.
