1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Avon is recorded as a municipality in Hendricks County, Indiana. A dashboard should preserve that distinction rather than treating Avon, the county, the Indianapolis metropolitan area, Indiana or a household as interchangeable. The local population estimate provides eligibility context for deciding whether Avon belongs in your measurement plan, but it cannot tell you how many people search for a legal service or how many will contact your office. The dashboard’s geographic views should be reviewed against the firm’s actual service area and practice areas. Ask whether a city, county or statewide keyword is being measured, and whether a lead’s location is captured consistently enough to support the decision you want to make.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area map to the consultation. Separate Avon targets from Hendricks County and broader Indiana targets, then decide which geographic labels should appear in reports and which should remain out of scope. Do not use the population figure as a forecast.
