1. Define the geography before you read the numbers
A Tallulah law firm may want to distinguish activity associated with Tallulah from activity associated with Madison Parish, other Louisiana locations or a broader service area. Those are different geographic questions. A dashboard can be useful only when the firm agrees on what a city, parish, service area, page or campaign label represents. The Census identifies Tallulah as a municipality and records its county relationship as Madison Parish; it does not establish where prospective clients search, call from or eventually retain counsel. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard text says its reporting can include service-and-city keyword targets, city data and source attribution. That makes geographic definitions an important consultation topic, not a reason to assume local demand.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how your firm would define Tallulah, Madison Parish and any additional Louisiana service areas in reporting. Decide whether a location label describes the search target, the landing page, the caller’s location, the matter location or another field. Record those definitions before comparing periods or practice areas.
