1. Set the geographic boundary before reading the numbers
A dashboard can only answer a geographic question that has been defined. Richfield is a municipal-town in Genesee County, Michigan. That is narrower than “Michigan,” and it is not interchangeable with a metropolitan area, a county-wide service territory or households and individuals. If your firm serves clients beyond the township, a location report should distinguish Richfield from Genesee County and any wider area you choose to evaluate. Bosseo’s public description says the dashboard can show keyword rankings, case-type leads and city data. Confirm how your firm’s geographic labels will be represented before treating a city or county comparison as a business conclusion.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written definition of each geography in the dashboard: Richfield, Genesee County, Michigan and any additional service areas your firm approves. Decide whether a “city” field means the search target, the caller’s location, the page location or another value. Do not accept a combined geographic total when the decision requires township-level information.
