1. Start with the Pasadena geography you actually serve
Pasadena is recorded as a municipality in Los Angeles County. Your service area may extend beyond the city, but that should be defined rather than assumed. An attribution review should distinguish Pasadena inquiries from matters originating elsewhere in Los Angeles County or from other California locations. The distinction matters when a page, campaign or referral appears productive: a city-specific landing page and a countywide practice page should not be treated as interchangeable evidence. Population is eligibility context only. It cannot tell you how many people need legal help, how many search for a lawyer, or how many inquiries your firm will receive.
Recommended approach
Bring a clear geographic rule to the consultation. Decide whether you want reporting by Pasadena, by Los Angeles County, by broader California coverage or by another service territory your firm defines. Ask how the reporting would preserve the original landing page and source so that geographic expansion does not blur the difference between a Pasadena visit and a matter from outside the city.
