1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Dodge City is recorded as a municipality in Ford County, Kansas. That distinction matters when you decide how the dashboard should identify a location. “Dodge City,” “Ford County,” and Kansas are not interchangeable reporting scopes. A city target may describe a service page or tracked keyword; a county view may describe a broader service area. The dashboard page says it can show service-and-city targets and city data, but your firm still needs to decide which geographic labels belong in its own reporting.
Recommended approach
Before adopting a reporting structure, write down the geographic scope for every target: Dodge City, Ford County, another named area or Kansas. Ask to see how those scopes appear in rankings, lead records and source attribution.
