1. Start with the geographic definition behind every number
Lexington is a municipality in Davidson County, North Carolina. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 19,690 residents, with a margin of error of 98. Your dashboard should therefore distinguish a Lexington target from a Davidson County target and from any broader North Carolina service area. A single “local” total can conceal which geography a ranking, call or inquiry represents. Ask how locations are named, stored and displayed, and whether a lead’s location is based on a caller’s statement, a form field, a tracked page or another method.
Recommended approach
Before selecting the product, write down the geographic labels your firm needs: Lexington, Davidson County and any other area you intentionally serve.
