Define the geography before you read the numbers
The Census record identifies Richton Park village as a municipality in Cook County. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish a Richton Park target from a county target, a metropolitan-area target and a statewide target. Those are different reporting questions. A call from someone in Cook County is not automatically a Richton Park lead, and a ranking across Illinois does not demonstrate performance in the village. Bosseo’s public product page says the dashboard can show keyword rankings, city data and leads by case type. The important pre-purchase question is how those geographic labels would be defined for your firm.
Recommended approach
Ask for a proposed geography dictionary: what counts as Richton Park, what is grouped under Cook County, and which broader areas are reported separately. Review whether addresses, landing pages, keyword targets and intake classifications use the same geographic rules. Do not treat the local population estimate as a forecast of matters or revenue.
