1. Define what “Birch Run” means in the dashboard
A location label can refer to Birch Run township, Saginaw County, a wider service area or a city-and-service keyword. Those are not interchangeable. The Census record identifies Birch Run township as a municipal-town in Saginaw County, Michigan. Its population estimate is a geographic eligibility fact, not proof that residents are searching for a particular legal service or that a specific channel will produce matters. During a review, separate township reporting from county reporting and from any broader Michigan coverage. Ask to see how location names are represented in rankings, lead records and source attribution. A dashboard is easier to interpret when a partner can tell whether a result belongs to a Birch Run target, a Saginaw County target or another market.
Recommended approach
Set a written geographic definition for each reportable target before judging performance. Include the location, practice area and reporting period. Do not combine township, county, metropolitan or statewide figures simply because they appear in one view.
