1. Separate Leominster service-area facts from marketing conclusions
Leominster is a municipality in Worcester County, Massachusetts. Its estimated population is 43,909, but population is eligibility evidence only. It cannot show how many people are searching for counsel, which practice areas are active, how many firms compete, or how many inquiries your firm will receive. Attribution should therefore begin with the geographic boundary you actually serve: Leominster, and any additional locations your firm intentionally includes. A record that says “Leominster” should not be treated as proof that the inquiry came from a particular neighborhood, county-wide audience or metropolitan area.
Recommended approach
Define the service-area fields and reporting views you want reviewed before judging performance. Keep city, county and other geographic information distinct, and ask whether a location is available by the person, captured by an intake form, or inferred from another record. Use the city as a reporting dimension—not as a forecast.
