1. Define the geography before you judge performance
A local dashboard can become misleading when a firm treats Mullica, Atlantic County, New Jersey and a metropolitan area as interchangeable. The Census record identifies Mullica township’s relationship to Atlantic County; it does not establish search demand, competition, leads, cases or revenue. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard description says rankings can include service-and-city targets and that the system can show which cities produce clients. That makes geographic definitions a practical buying issue. You should be able to distinguish a Mullica target from a countywide or statewide target, rather than reading one combined number as if it described one market.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to demonstrate how a Mullica target would be named, filtered and compared with Atlantic County or broader New Jersey coverage. Confirm which geography is attached to rankings, calls, forms, leads and matters. Do not approve a dashboard interpretation until your team agrees whether a location means the person’s address, the target page, the search location, the office’s service area or another defined field.
