1. Define the Hopewell geography before reviewing ROI
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 22,959, with no margin of error available in the cited record. Your dashboard review should therefore distinguish Hopewell from Virginia-wide visibility and from any other geographic area your firm serves. Ask how a location target is named, how city-level rankings are separated from broader rankings and whether calls or forms can be reviewed by the geography represented on the page or campaign. If the system cannot make those definitions clear, a large total may be difficult to interpret.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic scope to the consultation: Hopewell, any additional Virginia areas your firm intentionally serves, and the practice areas that matter in each. Decide which geographic labels must appear in reports and which should never be combined.
