1. Set the geographic record before interpreting a lead
Farmington is recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau as a municipality in Oakland County, Michigan. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 11,504, with a margin of error of 26. That is geographic and eligibility context, not evidence of legal demand, competition, search activity, lead volume or revenue. Your attribution review should therefore preserve the actual origin of each inquiry rather than treat the city’s population as a proxy for opportunity. Decide whether a record concerns Farmington city, another Oakland County community, or a broader service area. Then examine the source and outcome attached to that record.
Recommended approach
Ask for geographic reporting that distinguishes Farmington from Oakland County and any wider area your firm serves. Do not combine municipalities, countywide service, metropolitan coverage and individual household information into one performance label.
