1. Define the geography before reviewing the numbers
Brier city is recorded in Snohomish County, Washington. A dashboard should not silently treat the city, the county, the wider metropolitan area and Washington as the same market. Those areas answer different business questions. A Brier city view may help you review activity associated with that municipality. A Snohomish County view may describe a broader service area. A Washington view may be appropriate for statewide ranking coverage, but it should not be read as Brier performance. The Census population estimate establishes the place and its scale; it does not establish search volume, competition, calls, cases or revenue.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic labels are defined in the dashboard and how a Brier-related target would be distinguished from countywide or statewide coverage. Decide which geographic views belong in partner reviews, and document what each view can and cannot prove.
