1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Woodbridge township is recorded in the 2020–2024 American Community Survey as a municipal-town in Middlesex County, New Jersey, with an estimated population of 104,355 and a margin of error of 64. That is eligibility and planning context, not evidence of search demand, competition, calls, cases or revenue. A useful dashboard should therefore distinguish Woodbridge from Middlesex County and from any wider service area your firm chooses to target. It should also make clear whether a location label describes a search target, a caller’s location, an office location or the address associated with a matter.
Recommended approach
Ask to see how location is defined in every relevant report. Before relying on a city or county comparison, agree on the geographic fields your partners want reviewed and record which fields are measured directly versus available during intake.
