1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Waukesha city is a municipality in Waukesha County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 71,233 residents, with a margin of error of 71. That population figure is context, not proof of legal demand, search activity, competition, calls or revenue. It also does not describe every person your firm may serve across the county or elsewhere in Wisconsin. A useful dashboard evaluation therefore begins by separating city, county, statewide and other service areas in the definitions you want to review. Ask whether a report can distinguish the location attached to a tracked ranking, landing page, call or lead, rather than treating every Wisconsin interaction as a Waukesha result.
Recommended approach
Bring your actual service-area list and decide which geographic labels should appear in reporting. During the review, ask how location data is defined and whether a city-level view would answer a real budget question without implying that population equals demand.
