1. Define the Manhattan market before judging the data
Manhattan’s recorded county relationships are Pottawatomie County and Riley County. That matters when you review a lead’s location and decide whether a report should distinguish Manhattan from the surrounding counties or treat the area as one service territory. A city-page visit, a county-related inquiry and a matter from elsewhere in Kansas are not automatically the same market. Population is context, not proof that a particular practice area will generate inquiries.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing performance, agree on the geographic labels your firm will use. Decide whether Manhattan is the primary location, whether Pottawatomie and Riley counties should be reviewed separately, and which Kansas matters belong in the same decision. Then compare those labels with the firm’s actual intake and matter records rather than using population as a proxy for demand.
