1. Define the geographic scope before interpreting a number
A dashboard is only useful when the firm knows what a location label represents. Suffield is recorded as a town in Connecticut, and its county relationship is listed as the Capitol Planning Region. Those are geographic facts, not performance indicators. A Suffield-serving firm may need to distinguish searches, calls, forms and matters associated with Suffield from activity elsewhere in Connecticut or in another service area. The review should therefore ask whether location is captured consistently, which geography a ranking target describes, and whether a city or town label is being mistaken for a client’s residence, a caller’s location or the place where a matter is handled.
Recommended approach
Agree on geographic definitions before reviewing ROI. Ask Bosseo to show how the dashboard would separate Suffield-related activity from broader Connecticut activity, and document what each location field means. Do not use the town’s population estimate as a forecast of cases or marketing return.
