1. Define the geographic record before judging performance
Corrales is a municipality in Sandoval County, New Mexico. A firm may serve the village, the wider county or additional New Mexico communities, but those are different geographic scopes. Attribution is most useful when your reporting distinguishes the area a page or campaign addresses from the location of the person making contact. A Corrales page should not automatically be treated as proof that the inquiry came from Corrales, and a Sandoval County inquiry should not automatically be treated as a village inquiry. The Census population estimate can help you describe the community’s size, but it cannot tell you how many people need legal help or which practice areas generate inquiries.
Recommended approach
Set geographic fields and reporting rules before reviewing channel performance. Decide whether your firm will record the prospect’s stated location, the service area discussed during intake, the page viewed, or more than one of these. Keep Corrales, Sandoval County and New Mexico separate so a local-page review does not overstate what the data proves.
