1. Start with the geography you actually serve
The U.S. Census Bureau records St. Clairsville as a municipality in Belmont County, Ohio, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 5,003 and a margin of error of 34. A dashboard should therefore distinguish St. Clairsville from Belmont County and from any broader service area your firm chooses to track. It should also preserve the difference between a city target, a county target and a practice-area target. Bosseo says the dashboard can show rankings, calls, leads, case types and city data. During review, ask which geographic labels will appear beside each metric and whether a location view represents a search target, a caller’s location or another defined field.
Recommended approach
Bring your preferred St. Clairsville and Belmont County definitions to the consultation.
