1. Start with the geography your firm actually wants to measure
A location filter can change the meaning of a report. Christiansburg is a town, while Montgomery County is a county. Your firm may want to see activity associated with Christiansburg separately from activity associated with the wider county, but that distinction should be decided before anyone interprets a chart. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard text describes city data, service-and-city keyword targets and leads by case type. Those capabilities make geographic definitions an important evaluation question, not proof of local performance.
Recommended approach
Ask to see how a proposed dashboard defines a Christiansburg lead, a Montgomery County lead and a case assigned to a service area. Decide whether the firm will report municipality, county, another service area or more than one view. Do not use the 22,720-person estimate as a target for calls, matters or revenue.
