1. Define the Escanaba and Delta County scope before judging a source
That is eligibility and geographic context only; it does not establish legal demand, competition, search volume, inquiries or revenue. Attribution should therefore begin with a clear question: are you measuring inquiries from Escanaba, matters connected to Delta County, or the broader territory your firm actually accepts? Those are not interchangeable categories. A city page, a county reference and a caller’s location may describe different parts of the same journey.
Recommended approach
Write down the geographic definitions your team will use before reviewing performance. Keep Escanaba, Delta County and any wider Michigan service area as separate labels where they matter to intake or reporting. Use it only to explain why geographic scope needs to be explicit.
