1. Start with the geographic definition behind each number
Palatine is a village in Cook County, Illinois. A dashboard can only support a sound location decision if the firm first decides what “Palatine” means in its reporting: a municipality, a service area, a page target, or one part of a broader county strategy. Those are not interchangeable. Bosseo’s public dashboard text describes city data as part of its reporting, while its ranking description refers to service-and-city targets and state-level keyword coverage. That makes geographic definitions an important acceptance criterion rather than an assumption.
Recommended approach
Ask for a clear distinction between Palatine-specific activity and activity from other Cook County locations. Decide whether the dashboard should show city-level reporting, county-level reporting, or both, and document how a lead is assigned when a caller serves more than one area.
