1. Define the geographic view before judging ROI
A Garden City firm should decide whether its dashboard questions concern Garden City city, Finney County, Kansas more broadly, or another service area. Those are different geographic scopes. The Census record identifies Garden City city as a municipality in Finney County; it does not show which places produce inquiries or signed matters. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard description says city data can be used with case-type trends and that tracked service-and-city targets can be viewed over time. That makes geographic definitions a buying decision, not a detail to leave ambiguous.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to demonstrate how a firm would distinguish Garden City activity from broader Finney County or statewide activity. Agree on the labels used for rankings, calls, leads and matters before relying on a city comparison. Do not use the city’s population estimate as a proxy for demand or expected return.
