1. Separate Margaret geography from marketing evidence
The Census record identifies Margaret as a municipality in St. Clair County and reports 5,877 residents in the 2020–2024 ACS 5-year estimate. It does not establish how many people need legal help, how many search online, which practice areas are active, or how many inquiries your firm should expect. For attribution, that distinction matters. A location label alone cannot tell you whether a visit came from a Margaret page, a broader St. Clair County page, an advertisement, a referral or a return visit. Your reporting should preserve the actual source and journey rather than use Margaret as a substitute for evidence.
Recommended approach
Use Margaret as one geographic lens in your review, not as a demand forecast. Ask which landing pages, channels and case types are associated with inquiries from people your firm serves, and decide whether Margaret should be separated from county-wide or other geographic reporting.
