1. Start with East Grand Rapids geography, not assumed demand
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 11,445, with a margin of error of 56. For an East Grand Rapids practice, the dashboard review should therefore begin with geographic definitions. Decide whether a report should identify East Grand Rapids separately from Kent County, broader Michigan coverage or another service area your firm actually serves. Keep households, individuals, the municipality and the county distinct when interpreting a chart. Ask to see how city and county labels are represented in rankings, lead records and attribution. A local number is useful only when you know what place it describes.
Recommended approach
Bring your preferred geographic vocabulary to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to show where location is recorded, how city-level and county-level views are separated, and which geographic fields are available for review.
