1. Establish the geographic boundary before reading the numbers
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 22,567, with a margin of error of 137. A dashboard should therefore keep St. John, Lake County and any broader service area distinct rather than blending them into one unexplained total. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page describes tracking for service-and-city targets, keyword positions, calls, leads and city data. Those capabilities make geographic definitions an important starting point for your review.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how a St. John target would be named, filtered and separated from Lake County or other places your firm serves. Decide whether your reporting should include only St. John, St. John plus Lake County, or a wider area. Record that choice before interpreting trends so a broader number is not mistaken for St. John performance.
