1. Set the geographic boundary before reading the numbers
The dashboard page describes city and case-type reporting, including questions about which cities produce calls. For a firm serving Laurel, the first measurement decision is whether “Laurel” means the city alone, Yellowstone County, a broader Montana service area or several separate targets. Those are not interchangeable reporting labels. Laurel is recorded as a municipality, and its recorded county relationship is Yellowstone County.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show exactly how geography is represented in rankings, lead records, source attribution and case-type views. Decide whether Laurel and Yellowstone County should be separate reporting dimensions. Keep statewide Montana observations distinct from place-level observations. A clean boundary prevents a county result from being described as a Laurel result or a Montana result from being treated as local proof.
