Define what “Montague” means in your reporting
A local report can become misleading when a firm treats Montague, Franklin County, Massachusetts and a wider service area as interchangeable. The Census records Montague as a town in Franklin County; it does not establish how many people search for legal services, which matters they have, or where clients come from. Before reviewing a dashboard, decide whether a geographic field means the search target, the caller’s stated location, the office’s service area, the matter location or another defined value. Those are different questions. A useful review should also distinguish households, individuals and geographic entities rather than using population as a proxy for legal demand.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic labels are defined in rankings, lead records, city reporting and attribution. Put the agreed definitions in the acceptance criteria. If your firm serves places beyond Montague, identify those places separately instead of folding them into a single local total.
