Start with the geography you actually serve
Daly City is recorded as a municipality in San Mateo County, California. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Daly City city is 101,964, with a margin of error of 54. That is geographic and eligibility context only. It does not establish legal demand, competition, search volume, language preference, lead volume, cases or revenue. Your attribution review should therefore begin with the firm’s actual service area and intake records, not with a population-based assumption about opportunity. Ask whether Daly City inquiries are distinguishable from matters originating elsewhere in San Mateo County or California, and whether the firm wants to evaluate them separately.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic fields and reporting views you need before judging channel performance. Keep Daly City, San Mateo County and broader California coverage distinct where that distinction matters to intake, ownership or budget decisions.
