1. Start with the geographic definition, not a broad market label
Eagan is recorded as a municipality in Dakota County, Minnesota. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Eagan city is 68,000, with a margin of error of 47. That is context for defining a service area, not evidence of legal demand, search activity, competition, leads, cases, or revenue. A dashboard should therefore distinguish Eagan from Dakota County and from any wider metropolitan or statewide area your firm chooses to track. A single “local” label can conceal which geography produced an inquiry.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how city, county, and broader geographic values would be represented in the dashboard. Decide which geographic labels belong in rankings, lead records, source attribution, and matter reviews. Keep Eagan city separate from Dakota County unless your firm deliberately adopts a combined reporting definition.
