1. Define the geographic record before judging performance
A location label can conceal several different questions. Pascagoula city is a municipality in Jackson County; “Pascagoula,” “Jackson County,” Mississippi and a broader metropolitan area are not interchangeable geographic scopes. The Census population estimate applies to Pascagoula city, not to every person who may contact a law firm serving the area. It also does not establish legal demand, competition, search activity or likely case volume. Lead Attribution should therefore preserve the geographic scope your firm decides to measure instead of treating one population number as a forecast. Begin by deciding whether a report should distinguish Pascagoula city from Jackson County and from other locations your firm serves. Then use the same definitions when reviewing landing pages, intake answers and signed matters.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how location is represented in the records and reports you would use. Decide which geography belongs in each management question: local visibility, service-area coverage, intake ownership or matter outcomes. Do not use the Pascagoula population estimate to set a lead target.
