1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Bloomfield is a municipal-town in Oakland County. A dashboard should therefore make geographic scope explicit rather than treating “Bloomfield,” Oakland County and the wider Michigan market as interchangeable. Bosseo’s public description says its dashboard can show keyword coverage across a state and can identify which cities produce clients. That can be useful only if your firm agrees on the places it wants to evaluate. A Bloomfield-focused review may need to distinguish township activity from countywide or statewide activity.
Recommended approach
Ask to see how location is defined in each ranking, lead, call and matter view. Decide whether a city field means the searcher’s location, the page target, the caller’s stated location or another value. Require geographic labels that prevent Oakland County and Bloomfield results from being blended without explanation.
