1. Set the geographic boundary before interpreting a lead
Independence is recorded in Oakland County, Michigan. A report that labels every nearby inquiry “Independence” can blur township, county and broader metropolitan activity. That matters when you compare landing pages, referrals and case outcomes.
Recommended approach
Decide which geographic labels belong in your intake and reporting review. Keep Independence, Oakland County, Michigan and any broader service area distinct. Then ask whether each attributed inquiry falls inside your intended service area before using it in a budget or page decision.
