1. Define the geographic view before reviewing ROI
A New Brunswick law firm may serve people inside the city, elsewhere in Middlesex County, or across New Jersey. Those are different geographic questions. The Census record identifies New Brunswick city as a municipality in Middlesex County; it does not show where prospective clients search, call or retain counsel. Bosseo’s public dashboard description says its reporting can include keyword rankings, calls, leads, case types and city data. During evaluation, ask how the dashboard distinguishes a New Brunswick target from a countywide or statewide target. Also ask what a “city” field represents: the search target, the caller’s location, the landing-page location, or another definition.
Recommended approach
Create a written geographic dictionary before treating a location total as ROI evidence. Include New Brunswick city, Middlesex County and any broader New Jersey service area your firm actually handles. Review whether each ranking, call, form and matter can be assigned to one of those definitions without implying that population equals demand.
