1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing performance
The U.S. Census Bureau records Perth Amboy as a municipality in Middlesex County. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 55,855, with a margin of error of 61. That is context for defining a place, not evidence of legal demand, competition, search volume, leads or revenue. Your dashboard should therefore identify what a location label means before anyone interprets it. A Perth Amboy target may be a service-and-city keyword, while a caller may be elsewhere in Middlesex County or outside the intended service area. Those are different facts. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page says it tracks service-and-city keyword targets, rankings, calls, leads and city data. Ask to see how your firm’s geographic labels would be displayed and separated.
Recommended approach
Agree on a written geographic vocabulary during the consultation: Perth Amboy city, Middlesex County, New Jersey and any broader area your firm actually serves. Decide whether each report should distinguish the location searched, the caller’s location when available, the practice area and the matter’s service area. Do not use the Census population figure as a forecast.
