1. Start with the geographic distinction that affects attribution
Titusville is recorded as a city in Brevard County, Florida. A person visiting a Titusville page is not necessarily located in Titusville, and a visitor located in Titusville is not necessarily responding to a Titusville-targeted campaign. Those are different fields of meaning. Lead Attribution’s stated angle is to separate visitor location from the market targeted. That is especially important when a firm has pages, advertising or referrals associated with more than one place. A location label alone cannot tell you whether a case came from a local resident, a person searching for help in Titusville from elsewhere, or a campaign that targeted a broader service area.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic questions before reviewing performance. Ask to distinguish the visitor’s observed location, the market or page targeted, and the firm’s intended service area. Treat the Census population as context for the municipality, not as a forecast of inquiries. Review any geographic conclusions with the attorney responsible for advertising.
