1. Separate Bonne Terre geography from marketing conclusions
Bonne Terre is a municipality in St. Francois County, Missouri. The Census estimate of 6,683 residents is useful for describing the place you serve, but it cannot establish how many people search for legal help, which services they need, or whether a particular channel will produce a client. That distinction matters when a firm reviews attribution. A small local geography may sit beside broader service areas, referrals or regional searches. A record that identifies a landing page or referral can help you understand what actually brought an inquiry to the firm without treating population as a proxy for demand.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels your firm will use before reviewing reports: Bonne Terre, St. Francois County, Missouri, and any broader area your firm intentionally serves. Then ask whether each lead record preserves the page, channel or referral that brought the person to the firm. Do not use the Census figure as a forecast of leads or cases.
