1. Define the geographic question before reading the number
Olney is a municipality in Richland County, Illinois. A dashboard can be useful only if the geographic label attached to a keyword, call, form or matter is unambiguous. A result for Olney should not automatically be treated as a result for all of Richland County, and a county result should not be presented as an Olney result. Bosseo says the dashboard can show city data and asks which cities produce calls, but it does not establish a particular Olney coverage area for your firm.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written geographic definition for every location field: the place represented, the service area intended, and whether the value reflects a search target, a caller’s stated location or a matter’s actual venue. Use Olney and Richland County as separate review dimensions.
