1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing ROI
Allen Park city is a municipality in Wayne County, Michigan. A dashboard discussion should preserve that distinction: Allen Park is not the same reporting unit as Wayne County, the Detroit metropolitan area, Michigan as a whole, a household or an individual. The city’s population estimate can help identify the place being discussed, but it cannot establish how many people search for a lawyer, which practice areas are active, or how many cases a marketing channel will produce. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard description says keyword targets can include service-and-city targets and that case-type and city data can inform decisions. That makes geographic definitions important before a firm interprets a city label as a business result.
Recommended approach
Ask to see how Allen Park would be represented in the dashboard, how it would be distinguished from Wayne County and other locations, and whether each city label refers to a ranking target, a caller’s stated location, an address, a landing page or another definition. Record those definitions before comparing channels or practice areas.
