1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Beachwood is recorded as a municipality in Ocean County, New Jersey. That relationship should be explicit when you review attribution: a Beachwood inquiry, an Ocean County inquiry and an inquiry from elsewhere in New Jersey are not interchangeable categories. Population is context only. It cannot tell you how many people need legal help, which practice areas they search for, or whether a channel is producing qualified matters. Lead Attribution can be evaluated around the geographic distinctions your firm uses in its own intake and matter records, subject to the consultation defining the applicable scope.
Recommended approach
Decide which geographic labels your team needs to review before assessing channel performance. Keep Beachwood, Ocean County and broader New Jersey activity separate when that distinction affects qualification, routing or budget decisions.
