1. Set the geographic boundary before reading the numbers
North Myrtle Beach is recorded as a municipality in Horry County, South Carolina. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate for the city is 19,855, with a margin of error of 27. That figure describes the city’s population estimate; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, lead volume or revenue. A dashboard review should therefore distinguish North Myrtle Beach from Horry County, the wider Myrtle Beach metropolitan area and South Carolina. Those are different reporting scopes. If a keyword, call or lead is assigned to a city, your firm should know whether that assignment means the caller’s stated location, a landing-page location, a search location or another rule. Otherwise, a city comparison can look precise while combining unlike records.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how city and county fields are defined in the proposed review. Decide which geography belongs in partner reporting, which belongs in campaign planning and which should remain contextual. Do not treat the city’s population estimate as a forecast of cases or marketing return.
