1. Define the geography before you judge the numbers
A Rockaway law firm may describe its service area more broadly than Rockaway. The available Census record identifies Rockaway as a municipality in Morris County and estimates 6,613 residents for 2020–2024. That distinction matters when a dashboard presents city or location information. A result associated with Rockaway should not automatically be treated as a result for every community in Morris County, and a county-level signal should not be presented as borough-level performance. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard text says the product can show keyword rankings, city data and source attribution. Before using those views for a budget decision, ask which geographic labels appear, whether a location refers to a search target, a caller, a landing page or a matter, and whether the same definition is used over time.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geography rule to the consultation. Separate Rockaway, Morris County and any wider New Jersey service area, then decide which locations belong in reporting for each practice area.
