1. Set the geography before interpreting the numbers
Rochester city and Fulton County are different geographic scopes. The Census record identifies Rochester as a municipality and places it in Fulton County; it does not say that every Fulton County resident is a Rochester resident, or that every person in the city is a prospective client. That distinction matters when a dashboard reports city targets, county coverage, or questions about which locations produce calls. A local report can become misleading if Rochester, Fulton County, Indiana, and a broader metropolitan area are treated as interchangeable. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page describes rankings by service-and-city target, city data, and source attribution by page and channel. For your firm, the decision is whether those labels match the places your practice actually serves.
Recommended approach
Ask for a geography definition that names Rochester separately from Fulton County and any wider Indiana coverage. Confirm whether each tracked target is a city, county, state, or another area before using it in a budget discussion. Treat the Rochester population estimate as context only, not as a forecast of inquiries or cases.
