1. Define the geographic boundary before you define the intake
Olathe is a municipality in Johnson County, Kansas. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Olathe city is 145,057, with a margin of error of 105. That figure describes the city’s population; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, staffing requirements or likely lead volume. Your intake should therefore reflect the geographic scope your firm actually serves rather than treating the city estimate as a forecast. If you serve Olathe only, the consultation can examine an Olathe-specific path. If you also accept matters elsewhere in Johnson County, the path should make that service boundary clear.
Recommended approach
Bring your service-area rule to the review: Olathe only, Olathe plus other Johnson County communities, or a broader Kansas territory. Then decide whether location is an early qualification question, a routing field or an escalation trigger.
