1. Put Wildwood geography into the measurement plan
The U.S. Census Bureau records Wildwood city as a municipality in Cape May County and reports a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 5,130, with a margin of error of 17. That is geographic and population context only. It does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, leads or revenue. A dashboard should therefore keep Wildwood city, Cape May County and any broader service area distinct rather than treating them as interchangeable. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page describes tracking for service-and-city targets and says the view can show which cities produce calls. That makes geographic naming a measurement decision: ask which location labels will appear, which pages or campaigns they describe and whether the firm wants city-level reporting separated from county-level work.
Recommended approach
At the consultation, define Wildwood city and Cape May County as separate reporting labels where that distinction matters to your practice. Ask to see how a location is attached to a ranking, call, lead and matter, and decide whether a broader New Jersey view belongs in the same review or a separate one.
