1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
A Grand Blanc address in an intake record does not describe every market opportunity, and a visitor’s location is not the same as the municipality named on a page. The Census record identifies Grand Blanc city and its relationship to Genesee County; it does not establish how many people are seeking counsel, which practice areas they need or whether a particular channel performs well. Attribution gives you a way to evaluate those questions using your firm’s own inquiries rather than population as a proxy. Review whether location is captured in the intake answers and whether your reporting distinguishes Grand Blanc city from the rest of Genesee County and any other areas you serve.
Recommended approach
During consultation, bring the geographic fields your firm already uses. Decide which location distinctions matter for intake, ownership and reporting before interpreting a Grand Blanc-related inquiry as evidence of a broader county opportunity.
