Define the geographic view before judging performance
The U.S. Census Bureau records Martinez as a municipality in Contra Costa County, California, with a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 36,903 and a margin of error of 41. That is geographic and population context—not evidence of legal demand, search volume, competition, leads, cases or revenue. Your dashboard review should therefore distinguish Martinez from Contra Costa County, California-wide coverage and any metropolitan geography used in reporting. Ask which geography belongs to each tracked service-and-city target, call classification and attribution record. A number labeled “Martinez” should not silently represent a broader county or an entire state.
Recommended approach
During the consultation, request a written geography definition for every location-based view. Confirm how a partner would identify Martinez activity separately from Contra Costa County activity, and decide which geographic distinctions are necessary for budget and practice-area decisions.
