1. Start with the Madera service area, not a population assumption
If your firm serves Madera, Madera County or a wider California practice area, define those boundaries before changing an intake workflow. A useful review separates city inquiries from countywide and other California inquiries, then checks whether the same person, matter type and urgency rules apply in each area.
Recommended approach
Bring your actual geographic service rules to the consultation. Decide whether routing should distinguish Madera from Madera County or other areas, and identify any locations your firm does not serve. Automation should reflect your acceptance policy rather than treat every inquiry as equivalent.
