1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing performance
Marquette city is a municipality in Marquette County, Michigan, with a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 21,325 and a margin of error of 32. That is a description of the city, not evidence that residents are searching for a particular legal service or that a marketing channel will produce a case. For a firm serving Marquette, the first dashboard question is therefore definitional: are you evaluating city activity, county activity, statewide visibility or another service area? Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page describes city data, service-and-city ranking targets and questions about which cities produce calls. The scope should be agreed before anyone interprets a trend.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written geographic definition for rankings, calls, forms and matters. Keep Marquette city and Marquette County distinct in internal reporting, and do not use the city population as a forecast.
