1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The U.S. Census Bureau records Shamokin city as a municipality in Northumberland County. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 6,853, with a margin of error of 17. That figure describes the city’s population; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, calls, cases or revenue. For an ROI review, geography should therefore be a defined reporting question rather than an assumption. You may want to distinguish Shamokin from other places your firm serves in Northumberland County and from inquiries that mention a different location. The dashboard page says Bosseo tracks service-and-city keyword targets, cities producing calls, and case-type trends. Ask how those geographic labels will be defined in your consultation and reporting.
Recommended approach
Decide whether your primary review should use Shamokin, Northumberland County, or a broader service area. Keep those views distinct so a city population figure is not mistaken for a marketing outcome. Ask to see how location is attached to keywords, pages, calls and leads before treating a geographic trend as actionable.
