1. Define the geographic scope before reading a number
“Texas” can describe the state or a place with Texas in its name. The U.S. Census Bureau records Texas as a municipal-town in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 18,226 and a margin of error of 26. That fact identifies a geographic relationship; it does not establish legal demand, competition, search volume, calls or revenue. A Texas law firm should therefore decide whether its dashboard labels refer to statewide Texas, named Texas counties, Texas metropolitan areas, Michigan, or a specific Michigan locality. Do not combine those scopes into one total and call it a market.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geography is represented in rankings, calls, leads and case-type views. Require separate labels for Texas and Michigan, and preserve the exact county or metropolitan scope selected by the firm.
