1. Define the journey before reviewing the numbers
Vermillion is recorded as a municipality in Clay County, South Dakota. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 11,878, with a margin of error of 23. That population figure provides geographic context only; it does not establish legal demand, search activity, competition, leads or revenue. Your first dashboard decision should therefore be definitional: which geographic areas, practice areas and client stages matter to your firm? Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page describes rankings, calls, forms, video intakes, leads, case types and source attribution as parts of the measurement picture. Those categories are useful only when your firm agrees on what each one means.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how a Vermillion inquiry, a Clay County inquiry and any broader South Dakota inquiry would be distinguished in the reporting you are considering. Agree in advance on definitions for potential new client, current client, other contact, spam, case type, matter and signed client. Do not treat the Vermillion population estimate as a forecast of cases or revenue.
