1. Start with Meredith’s actual geographic scope
Meredith is recorded as a municipal town in Belknap County, New Hampshire. Its 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 6,758, with a margin of error of 22. That is context for defining a service area, not evidence that a particular practice area has demand or that a particular marketing channel works. Households, individuals, the town, the county and any wider New Hampshire service area should not be treated as interchangeable. Attribution can be useful precisely because it asks what happened to an actual inquiry rather than treating population as a forecast.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing performance, define the geographic labels your firm uses for inquiries: Meredith, Belknap County, New Hampshire or another area your firm expressly serves. Then decide whether location should be reviewed alongside practice area, landing page, channel and outcome. Keep those fields distinct so a town-level observation is not mistaken for county-wide or statewide evidence.
