1. Start with the geography you actually serve
Palatka is a municipality in Putnam County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Palatka city is 10,650, with a margin of error of 24. That is useful context for defining a local reporting view, but it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, calls, signed matters or revenue. A dashboard should therefore keep Palatka city, Putnam County and any other service area as distinct geographic categories rather than blending them into one total.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show which geography each tracked keyword, inquiry, call and matter belongs to. Decide whether your operating question is about Palatka city, Putnam County, or both. If your firm serves locations beyond those areas, add them only as separately named cohorts. Do not use the Palatka population figure as a forecast.
