1. Set the geographic frame before reading the numbers
Dormont is a borough in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. A dashboard can be useful only if the firm knows what geography a metric represents. A city-and-service keyword target, a caller’s location, a page’s traffic, and a signed matter may each describe different things. The fact that Dormont has an ACS population estimate does not establish that residents are searching for a particular legal service or that a campaign will produce clients. It does, however, give you a clear municipality to include when reviewing geographic definitions. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page says the product can show city data, keyword rankings, calls, leads and case-type breakdowns.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to demonstrate how a Dormont-related record is identified, how Allegheny County activity is separated from Dormont activity, and how Pennsylvania-wide ranking coverage is represented. Treat geography as a field to define and audit, not as a forecast. Decide in advance whether your management question concerns Dormont, the county, a metropolitan area, or the state.
