1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 7,679, with a margin of error of 18. That is eligibility and planning context—not evidence of legal demand, search volume, competition, calls or revenue. Your attribution review should therefore preserve Old Lyme as a distinct geography rather than treating the town, the planning region, Connecticut and your broader service area as interchangeable. Ask whether a lead’s location is captured in the intake information your firm already collects, and decide how you will distinguish an Old Lyme matter from an inquiry elsewhere in your service area.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic fields and service-area categories you want to review before judging performance. Use actual inquiry, consultation and matter records to determine whether geography is useful for your decisions.
