1. Define the geographic scope before reading the numbers
Prospect Park borough is a municipality in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 6,417, with a margin of error of 20. That fact can help your firm describe the market boundary it wants to examine, but it cannot establish how many people search for legal services, how many matters exist or how many leads a campaign should produce. A dashboard becomes harder to interpret when “Prospect Park,” Delaware County, a wider metropolitan area and Pennsylvania are treated as interchangeable. Ask Bosseo to show how location labels are defined in rankings, calls, forms, lead records and case-type summaries. Decide whether your management questions concern the borough, the county, a broader service area or several separate areas.
Recommended approach
Write the geographic definitions into the review criteria. Require each location view to state what it includes, and keep municipal, county, metropolitan and statewide reporting separate unless your firm deliberately combines them.
