1. Set the geographic boundary before you judge ROI
The dashboard page describes rankings, calls, leads and city data as connected measures. For a firm serving Paw Paw, the first decision is what “Paw Paw” means in each report. The Census record identifies Paw Paw township and its relationship to Van Buren County. A township, a county, a metropolitan area, Michigan as a whole, a household and an individual are not interchangeable reporting units. A population estimate cannot establish how many people need legal help or how many will contact a firm. Ask Bosseo to show how geographic targets are named and separated in the dashboard. A report that combines Paw Paw township with countywide or statewide activity may be useful for a broader strategy, but it should not be treated as a local return figure without that distinction.
Recommended approach
Approve geographic labels before reviewing performance. At minimum, decide whether the firm wants separate views for Paw Paw township, Van Buren County and any wider Michigan coverage it elects to pursue. Require every city or county comparison to identify its geography rather than relying on an unlabeled total.
