1. Define the geographic record before judging performance
Kirkwood is a Missouri municipality in St. Louis County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 29,363 residents, with a margin of error of 40. That is context for the place your firm serves, not evidence of legal demand, search volume, case volume or revenue. Attribution should therefore preserve the geographic meaning of each record instead of treating every contact as interchangeable. A Kirkwood inquiry, a wider St. Louis County inquiry and a matter from elsewhere in Missouri may belong to different service decisions. The system should help your team inspect the journey and matter outcome; it should not turn population into a forecast.
Recommended approach
Decide which geographic fields your firm needs for reporting, then review whether each inquiry can be associated with a service area without confusing municipality, county, metropolitan area and state-level coverage.
