1. Start with the geographic definition, not a market assumption
That distinction matters when a dashboard displays city, county, state or other location data. A firm serving Dickson may need to distinguish a Dickson-city inquiry from a Dickson County inquiry and from a Tennessee inquiry. Those are different reporting questions. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page says the product can show case-type and city data, along with keyword rankings and leads. Before using those views for budget decisions, ask how your firm’s service area will be defined and how a location will be assigned to a call, form or intake. The location field should describe the inquiry or campaign consistently enough for partners to interpret it.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geography list to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to explain which location fields can be reviewed, how ambiguous inquiries are handled and what acceptance test would show that the reporting matches your firm’s definitions.
