1. Define what “Troy” means in the dashboard
Troy is recorded as a city in Madison County, Illinois. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Troy city is 11,647, with a margin of error of 162. That is a population estimate for the municipality, not a count of prospective clients, legal matters or searches. It also does not establish demand in Madison County, another service area or the wider St. Louis metropolitan area. Those geographic distinctions matter when a dashboard groups leads by city or evaluates a service-and-city target. A firm should be able to tell whether a reported location refers to a caller’s stated location, a page target, a campaign setting or another definition.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to demonstrate the geographic fields used for Troy, Madison County and any additional service areas you intentionally serve. Decide which locations belong in one report and which must remain separate. Do not use the Troy population figure as a forecast; use it only as context when defining the municipality you want represented.
