1. Build a Gateway-specific measurement boundary
The dashboard should not blur Gateway with Lee County, Florida, or any other service area. Gateway is a CDP, and the Census record identifies Lee County as its county relationship. Those geographic labels describe different scopes. A firm may serve Gateway residents, cover matters elsewhere in Lee County, or target a broader Florida market; the dashboard’s labels should reflect the firm’s actual operating decisions. Bosseo’s published product information supports city and case-type data, including rankings, calls, leads and matters. It does not establish Gateway search demand or a recommended geographic expansion.
Recommended approach
Before judging performance, decide which locations belong in each reporting group: Gateway, Lee County, Florida, or another area the firm deliberately serves. Ask Bosseo to show how those groups would be separated and what the dashboard will display when a location or source cannot be identified. Do not use the Census population estimate as a forecast of inquiries or matters.
