1. Define the geographic question before reading the data
East Kapolei is recorded as a CDP in Honolulu County. That relationship matters when you review location fields, landing pages, referral descriptions, and matter records: “East Kapolei” and “Honolulu County” are not interchangeable labels, and neither is a substitute for the actual source of an inquiry. The Census estimate of 7,551 people is eligibility context only. It cannot establish how many people search for a lawyer, which practice areas they need, or whether a particular page produces qualified inquiries. Lead Attribution can help you examine the journeys that actually reach your firm, rather than treating population as a proxy for performance.
Recommended approach
Agree on the geographic labels your firm will use in intake and reporting. Then ask whether a reported East Kapolei inquiry was identified by the person, the landing page, the referral path, or another record. Keep those distinctions visible when reviewing results.
