1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
San Martin is a census-designated place in Santa Clara County, California—not a synonym for the entire county, a metropolitan area, or every person who may search for a lawyer in the region. The Census records 6,954 residents for the 2020–2024 ACS 5-year period, with a margin of error of 805. A San Martin firm may serve clients beyond the CDP, or it may focus on a narrower practice and intake area. Those distinctions affect which stories are relevant and which calls should count as qualified.
Recommended approach
Write down the geographic scope for each practice area before reviewing coverage. Separate San Martin from Santa Clara County and from any broader California audience you intend to serve. Then decide whether inquiries from outside the immediate area are accepted, referred, or excluded from evaluation.
