1. Define the geography before you define ROI
The U.S. Census Bureau records New Britain township as a municipal-town in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 12,319 and a margin of error of 39. That is geographic and population context only. It does not establish legal demand, search activity, competition, lead volume or revenue. Your dashboard review should therefore distinguish New Britain township from Bucks County and from any broader service area the firm elects to measure. Ask whether a keyword, call or matter is being attributed to a township, a county, a city elsewhere in Pennsylvania or another geographic target. A single “local” total can conceal those differences.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic definition to the consultation. Decide which New Britain and Bucks County targets matter to the firm, which locations should remain separate, and whether Pennsylvania-wide visibility belongs in the same view or a different one. Treat the Census population figure as eligibility context—not as a forecast.
