1. Separate Sunset Hills geography from marketing conclusions
Sunset Hills city is recorded in St. Louis County, Missouri. The geographic relationship matters when you review landing pages, service areas and reports: Sunset Hills, St. Louis County, the wider metropolitan area and Missouri are not interchangeable audiences. The Census population estimate is useful for identifying the municipality and its scale, but it cannot tell you how many people need legal help, which practice areas they seek, how many firms compete for them or how many inquiries your firm will receive.
Recommended approach
Decide which geography each inquiry record should represent. A review can distinguish a Sunset Hills page or address reference from a broader St. Louis County or Missouri service area. Do not use the population estimate as a forecast. Instead, ask whether the attribution record preserves the page, channel and case information needed to evaluate the actual inquiries your firm receives.
