1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Orange Cove city is recorded in Fresno County. A firm may serve Orange Cove alone, nearby communities, or a broader Fresno County and California practice area, but those are different geographic scopes. Attribution should therefore preserve the location associated with an inquiry rather than treating every visitor as an Orange Cove lead. Population is useful as eligibility context for deciding whether a local review is relevant; it is not evidence of demand, competition or future case volume.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic fields and service areas you want to review before interpreting results. Ask whether an inquiry concerns Orange Cove, another Fresno County location, or a matter handled statewide. Keep city, county and state-level reporting distinct so a larger service area does not obscure what is happening in Orange Cove.
