1. Start with the geography you actually want to measure
Bosseo’s public dashboard copy says it can show keyword rankings, city data and the cities producing calls. Hoquiam is recorded as a municipality in Grays Harbor County. Those are different geographic levels, so a useful review should not combine Hoquiam, the county, Washington and any wider market into one unexplained total. Ask which locations would appear in ranking targets, lead records and attribution views, and whether the dashboard separates a Hoquiam inquiry from a county-wide or statewide inquiry.
Recommended approach
Set a written geographic definition for each report: Hoquiam, Grays Harbor County, Washington, or another service area selected by the firm. During the consultation, request an example of how location is recorded and displayed. Do not approve a budget based on a location total until you know whether it represents searches, calls, contacts, matters or revenue.
