1. Start with the market you actually serve
Jacksonville Beach is a municipality in Duval County, Florida. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for the city is 23,654, with a margin of error of 22. That is geographic context, not evidence of legal demand, search volume or lead availability. Your firm may serve people located in Jacksonville Beach, target the city from outside it, or work across a broader area. Those are different measurement questions.
Recommended approach
Define the market field you want to evaluate before judging performance. Keep Jacksonville Beach, Duval County and any wider service area as distinct labels. Ask whether a report should describe a visitor’s apparent location, the geographic market targeted by a campaign, or both. Do not treat a city population figure as a forecast of inquiries.
