1. Define the geography before reading the numbers
Mount Vernon and Posey County are different geographic units. A dashboard view that combines both without labeling them can make a local result difficult to interpret. The same issue applies if your firm serves Indiana clients beyond Mount Vernon: a statewide ranking, a Posey County inquiry and a Mount Vernon call answer different business questions. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page says its system can show rankings by service-and-city target and includes city data in decision-making. During evaluation, ask whether geographic labels will be visible at the level your firm actually buys, serves and reviews.
Recommended approach
Create a written geographic definition for each tracked target: Mount Vernon, Posey County, Indiana, or another area your firm deliberately serves. Require the dashboard review to show which geographic definition applies to each ranking, lead, call and matter. Do not compare city figures with county or statewide figures until the scope is explicit.
