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. The city’s population estimate is context, not a forecast of legal inquiries. 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 city, 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.
