1. Define the geography before judging performance
The Bosseo public page describes rankings and keyword coverage across a firm’s state, while also describing city-level data and questions about which cities produce calls. For a Jamestown firm, that distinction matters. Jamestown city and Stutsman County are not interchangeable reporting labels, and neither should be treated as a synonym for all of North Dakota. A useful dashboard review should show how a location is named, grouped and filtered. It should also make clear whether a reported interaction is associated with a city, a county, a statewide target or another source. Population is not a proxy for demand, so the dashboard should be used to observe actual contacts and their classifications rather than to assume that a larger or smaller geography will produce a particular result.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to demonstrate the geographic fields used for Jamestown, Stutsman County and statewide targets. Decide which geographic views your partners need, what each view means, and how ambiguous location information will be handled before using city or county data in budget decisions.
