1. Define the geographic question before reading the numbers
A Ledyard law firm may want to know which activity relates to Ledyard, the wider Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region, Connecticut generally, or another service area. Those are different reporting questions. Bosseo’s public dashboard text describes keyword tracking by service and city, city data, lead classification and source attribution. That makes geographic definition a decision point rather than a cosmetic filter. Ask how a city label is assigned, whether a contact can be associated with more than one location, and how the firm should interpret activity that does not identify a location. The Census record identifies Ledyard’s relationship to the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region, but it does not establish that residents are searching for legal services or that a particular practice area has demand there.
Recommended approach
At the consultation, write down the geographic fields you need to review: Ledyard, the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region, Connecticut, and any other locations the firm deliberately serves. Decide which views are descriptive, which are operational, and which are appropriate for budget decisions.
