1. Start with Crookston’s actual service area
Crookston is recorded as a municipality in Polk County, Minnesota. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Crookston city is 7,344, with a margin of error of 58. That is geographic and population context only. It does not establish demand, competition, search volume, leads, cases or revenue. Your dashboard review should therefore distinguish Crookston city from Polk County and any other area your firm serves. A city-and-county filter that combines those places without explanation can make a trend look more precise than it is.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location is represented in the dashboard and in attribution. Decide whether your reporting should separate Crookston city, Polk County and other service areas. Keep the geographic definition visible beside each report so a partner does not mistake population context for marketing performance.
