1. Start with a geographic definition your partners can use
A Little Canada dashboard should not quietly blend city, county, metropolitan-area and statewide activity. Little Canada is recorded as a municipality in Ramsey County. Your firm may serve people who live in the city, people elsewhere in Ramsey County, or clients who search by a broader Twin Cities location. Those are different reporting questions. The dashboard page says it can show rankings, leads and case-type data by city, but your consultation should establish which geographic labels are actually tracked and how they are assigned. A population estimate is useful for defining the market under review, not for predicting cases.
Recommended approach
Write down the places that matter to your firm before reviewing results: Little Canada, Ramsey County, any wider service area and Minnesota-wide targets if relevant. Ask for a clear rule for classifying a call, form or matter when the person’s location is unknown. Do not approve a report that presents a single geographic total without explaining what it contains.
