1. Define the geography before reviewing Mason results
Mason and Ingham County are not interchangeable labels. A report that combines Mason, the county, other Michigan communities or a broader metropolitan area may answer a different business question from the one your firm intended to ask. Bosseo’s public description says its dashboard can show keyword rankings, case-type data and city data. Before relying on a geographic view, identify whether a row represents Mason, a countywide service area or another location.
Recommended approach
Ask for a plain-language geography definition beside every local metric. Decide which locations belong in the initial review, which should remain separate, and whether a location label refers to a search target, a caller’s location or a matter’s location. Keep Mason and Ingham County distinct unless your firm deliberately combines them for a stated reason.
