1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Gretna is recorded as a municipality in Sarpy County, Nebraska. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Gretna city is 9,193, with a margin of error of 34. That is context about the municipality—not evidence of legal demand, competition, search volume, leads or revenue. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish Gretna city from Sarpy County, any broader metropolitan area and other places your firm serves. Those areas should not be combined into one unexplained local total. Ask how a proposed dashboard identifies a city, county, service area and source page. If your firm handles matters from outside Gretna, confirm how those contacts are categorized without making the city population stand in for your market.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic definition to the consultation: Gretna city, Sarpy County and any additional service areas your firm wants reviewed. Ask to see how each geographic label would appear in rankings, lead records and attribution, and require a clear rule for contacts whose location is unknown.
