Start with a geographic definition your firm can defend
A dashboard is only useful when its geography is explicit. Aurora is a town in Erie County, and the Census estimate describes the town—not every household, individual or potential client in the county. If your firm serves Aurora as well as other Erie County communities or a wider New York market, those areas should not be blended into one unexplained total. The dashboard page describes rankings by service-and-city target and says city data can inform decisions. That makes geographic naming and scope a first-order measurement question.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing performance, list the exact locations and practice areas you want tracked. Decide whether Aurora is a standalone target, part of an Erie County group, or one location within a broader New York strategy. Ask to see how those labels appear in rankings, lead reports and source attribution. Do not treat Aurora’s population estimate as a forecast of matters or revenue.
