1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The U.S. Census Bureau records Clinton as a municipality in Sampson County, North Carolina, with a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 8,304 and a margin of error of 29. That is geographic context, not evidence of search demand, legal need, competition, leads or revenue. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish a Clinton city contact from a contact elsewhere in Sampson County and from any broader North Carolina service area. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard description says its reporting can include city data, rankings, calls and leads. Ask how those geographic fields would be defined for your firm before using them in a decision.
Recommended approach
Create a written location definition for reporting: Clinton city, Sampson County outside Clinton, and any additional area your firm intentionally serves. Confirm whether location is captured from a landing page, call, form, intake conversation or another stated field. Do not combine the categories merely because they appear in the same service territory.
