1. Start with the geography your firm wants to measure
The Census identifies Battle Ground as a municipality in Clark County, Washington. That distinction matters when a partner asks whether a campaign is producing results in Battle Ground, elsewhere in Clark County, or across a wider Washington service area. A dashboard should not quietly treat a city, county, metropolitan area and state as interchangeable. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard description says rankings can be tracked for service-and-city targets and that city data can inform decisions. Before reviewing a number, identify the exact geographic label attached to it and whether the result represents a search target, a caller’s location, a lead’s stated location or a matter’s service area.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how Battle Ground and Clark County would be named in the dashboard, then decide which geographic fields belong in your partner review. Do not treat the city’s population estimate as a forecast of calls or matters. Use it only to define the place under discussion.
