1. Define the geography before you interpret the numbers
A dashboard can show city, county and broader market information, but those labels must not be treated as interchangeable. Union is a municipal-town in Isabella County. The available Census estimate covers the township and records a population of 11,823, with a margin of error of 30, for the 2020–2024 ACS five-year period. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard description refers to city data, rankings, calls, leads and case-type trends. Before using those views, ask how Union and Isabella County will be represented and whether a broader Michigan view could obscure the local question.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic definition to the review. Decide whether a report should separate Union from Isabella County and any wider service area. Ask to see how location is assigned to a keyword, landing page, call or lead, and record what the dashboard can and cannot distinguish.
