1. Separate Auburn Hills geography from lead evidence
Auburn Hills is a municipality in Oakland County, Michigan. A firm may serve the city, the county, or a wider Michigan market, and those scopes should not be blended when reviewing performance. Population is not a proxy for search activity, competition, legal need, calls or signed matters. Attribution helps you inspect the geography that is actually present in your records: the landing page, referral path and case information associated with each inquiry. If your site uses city or service pages, the relevant question is whether a particular page appears in journeys that become qualified inquiries or matters—not whether the city’s population predicts results.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels your firm wants to compare before reviewing data. Keep Auburn Hills, Oakland County and any broader service area distinct. Ask whether each record identifies the page and channel that preceded the inquiry, and whether your outcome definitions distinguish an inquiry from a qualified matter, consultation or signed case.
