1. Start with the market you actually serve
West Palm Beach city is a municipality in Palm Beach County. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate for the city is 122,290, with a margin of error of 106. That is useful geographic context, but it does not establish search demand, legal need, competition, lead volume or revenue. It also does not show whether a particular visitor lives in the city, works there, or is outside the city but looking for a firm serving West Palm Beach. Attribution should therefore preserve the distinction between a visitor’s observed location and the market a page, campaign or referral was intended to reach.
Recommended approach
Before judging performance, define the service area you want to evaluate: West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida, or another scope your firm serves. Then review whether location, landing page and source are being interpreted separately. This prevents a city-page visit from being treated as proof that the visitor was a West Palm Beach resident or that the city itself caused the inquiry.
