Start with the geographic definition your firm actually serves
The Census Bureau records St. Johns as a municipality in Clinton County, Michigan, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 7,715 and a margin of error of 45. That figure describes the city’s population; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, leads or revenue. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish St. Johns city from Clinton County and from any wider service area your firm chooses to market. The distinction matters when a report says a call, lead or matter came from a city, county or another location. If geographic labels are broad or inconsistent, a partner may assign budget to the wrong market.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to demonstrate the exact geographic fields attached to rankings, calls, leads and matters. Decide which locations your firm will use for reporting, and require the same definitions in intake notes, attribution reviews and partner discussions.
