1. Define the geographic record before judging performance
Maryville is a village in Illinois and is recorded in Madison County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate lists 8,316 residents, with a margin of error of 23. That is location context, not evidence of legal demand, search activity, competition, lead volume or revenue. Your attribution records should therefore distinguish Maryville from the wider Madison County service area and from any other places your firm serves. A location label alone cannot tell you whether a marketing path produced a useful inquiry.
Recommended approach
Decide which geographic distinctions matter to your intake and reporting before reviewing results. For example, determine whether the team needs to separate Maryville inquiries from other Madison County inquiries, and whether a service-area reference is more useful than a municipality label. Ask Bosseo to show how those distinctions would appear in a lead journey and in summary reporting, without treating the population estimate as a forecast.
