1. Start with the geography you actually serve
Hobe Sound is recorded as the Hobe Sound CDP in Martin County, Florida. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 13,817, with a margin of error of 1,548. That is a population record, not evidence of legal demand, search volume, competition, calls or revenue. It also does not establish that every prospective client should be grouped under one location. Bosseo’s published product information specifically calls for separating Miami, Miami-Dade and neighboring city cohorts. For a Hobe Sound firm, that principle means deciding which location labels matter to the business before interpreting a chart.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show Hobe Sound separately from Martin County and any other geographic cohorts relevant to your service area. Do not combine households, individuals, the CDP, the county and a broader metropolitan area without documenting what each label means. A useful review should reveal when a location value is absent or too incomplete to support a conclusion.
