1. Start with the geographic scope you actually serve
Farmington and San Juan County are related but not interchangeable geographic labels. A firm may serve Farmington, other communities in San Juan County, or a broader New Mexico footprint. Population data establishes the municipality and its county relationship; it does not establish where inquiries originate or where your firm accepts matters. Lead Attribution can make those distinctions more useful when your records capture the relevant location information and your reporting separates the areas you want to compare. The decision is whether Farmington should be reviewed as its own service area, grouped with San Juan County, or included in a wider New Mexico analysis.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic fields and reporting views you need before judging channel performance. Review whether an inquiry is tied to a Farmington page, a San Juan County page, another location, or a non-location path. Do not treat the city’s population estimate as a forecast of leads or cases.
