1. Put Elk City geography into the measurement plan
A dashboard is only useful when the geography behind a number is clear. Elk City is recorded as a city in Beckham County. Your firm may serve people in Elk City, elsewhere in Beckham County, or in additional Oklahoma locations, but those areas should not be treated as one undifferentiated market. Bosseo’s public dashboard description includes tracked service-and-city targets, city data and questions about which cities produce calls. That makes geographic definitions an important part of the review.
Recommended approach
Before choosing targets, write down the exact places your firm intends to evaluate, the practice areas attached to each place, and whether a result represents a ranking, a contact or a matter. Ask Bosseo to show how those distinctions appear in the dashboard. Do not use Elk City’s population estimate as a forecast of cases or return on investment.
