1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The U.S. Census Bureau records Ste. Genevieve city as a municipality in Ste. Genevieve County. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 5,010, with a margin of error of 43. That figure describes the city population; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, leads or revenue. The distinction matters when you review a dashboard. A city keyword, a county-wide service area and a broader Missouri target are different reporting questions.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic labels will be defined in the dashboard. Decide whether your firm needs separate views for Ste. Genevieve city, Ste. Genevieve County and any broader area it intentionally serves. Do not accept a combined geography if it prevents you from understanding where a call, form or matter originated. Include the geographic definitions in the acceptance criteria before relying on the dashboard for budget decisions.
