1. Define the geography before reading a local number
A Sturbridge report should distinguish the town from Worcester County and from any broader Massachusetts coverage. The Census identifies Sturbridge town as a municipal town in Worcester County and records the population estimate noted above. That fact can help you document the market boundary you want to discuss, but it cannot establish how many people need a lawyer or how many searches a practice area receives. Bosseo’s public description says the dashboard can show service-and-city keyword targets, city data and trends. The practical issue is whether your firm’s dashboard labels Sturbridge separately from countywide or statewide results. A combined total may be useful for a broad planning view while being unsuitable for a decision about Sturbridge.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to demonstrate the exact geographic labels and filters you would use: Sturbridge, Worcester County and any wider Massachusetts target. Decide whether a lead belongs to a location based on the landing page, caller information, intake answer, matter address or another documented rule. Keep those definitions visible in the reporting agreement.
