1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The U.S. Census Bureau records St. Louis Park as a municipality in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 49,594, with a margin of error of 38. That is context for defining a service area, not evidence of search volume, legal need, competition, calls or revenue. Lead Attribution should therefore begin with your firm’s real intake records and the geographic distinctions your team already uses—not a population-based forecast.
Recommended approach
Decide whether St. Louis Park is a city-level service area, one part of a broader Hennepin County footprint, or a location used for a particular practice. Then ask whether your reporting can distinguish those paths without treating a city page, county page and general service page as the same asset. Review the results by source, practice area and outcome rather than assuming every local visit has equal value.
