1. Start with the geographic question your dashboard must answer
For a firm serving Port Washington, “local performance” needs a precise definition before anyone reviews a chart. Port Washington is a municipality in Ozaukee County. A dashboard discussion should therefore distinguish Port Washington from the wider county, from Wisconsin as a whole, and from any metropolitan area your firm chooses to evaluate. Those areas are not interchangeable, and a population estimate for Port Washington cannot demonstrate that a particular practice area has demand there. Bosseo’s public ROI Dashboard page describes city data, keyword rankings and case-type reporting, but the exact geographic configuration for your firm should be confirmed in consultation.
Recommended approach
Write down the geographic views you would actually use: Port Washington, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, or another defined service area. Ask how each view would be separated and how a lead’s location would be recorded. Do not approve a report that combines municipalities, counties and statewide figures without showing the distinction.
