1. Start with the exact service area, not an assumed market
Holiday City-Berkeley is recorded as a CDP in Ocean County, New Jersey. That relationship matters when you review landing pages, intake records and reporting labels: a lead associated with Holiday City-Berkeley should not automatically be treated as a lead from every part of Ocean County, the wider metropolitan area or New Jersey. The Census population estimate describes the place; it does not establish search activity, competition, case demand or likely revenue. For attribution, the practical issue is whether your records preserve the geographic information your firm actually uses when evaluating an inquiry.
Recommended approach
Decide how your firm will distinguish Holiday City-Berkeley from Ocean County and other service areas. Review whether your intake captures location consistently, whether your landing-page reporting preserves the page that generated an inquiry, and whether your outcome review can separate an inquiry from a qualified consultation or signed matter. Ask Bosseo to show how those distinctions would appear in a Lead Attribution review rather than treating the population figure as a forecast.
