1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
That is eligibility context, not proof of legal demand, search volume, competition or future cases. It does create a useful attribution question: can your records distinguish an inquiry associated with Monroe from inquiries connected to the wider Monroe County service area or other Michigan locations? Geographic scope should be defined before performance is interpreted. A page, campaign or intake field may refer to different places, and combining them can make channel comparisons misleading.
Recommended approach
Agree on the geographic labels your firm uses for reporting. Review whether Monroe, Monroe County and broader Michigan inquiries need separate treatment, then decide which location information belongs in qualification and outcome reviews.
