Start with the geography you actually serve
McKee City is recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau as a census-designated place in Atlantic County, New Jersey. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year population estimate for the CDP is 10,731, with a margin of error of 1,205. That is geographic and population context—not proof of legal demand, search activity, competition, leads or revenue. A dashboard should therefore distinguish McKee City from Atlantic County, any broader metropolitan area, and New Jersey as a whole. Those are not interchangeable reporting areas. For your firm, ask whether a location label means the search target, the caller’s location, the office’s location, or the matter’s jurisdiction.
Recommended approach
Use separate geographic definitions before reviewing performance. Decide whether McKee City is a target location, part of a wider Atlantic County service area, or one location within a New Jersey campaign. Require each geographic view to state what it measures and what it does not establish.
