1. Start with the geographic question your data can answer
Taos is a municipality in Taos County, New Mexico. The Census population estimate is 6,458 for the 2020–2024 ACS 5-year period, with a margin of error of 51. That does not establish how many people search for legal services, how many inquiries a firm receives, or whether a particular channel produces signed cases. It does establish why geographic boundaries should be explicit when you review attribution. A record associated with Taos should not automatically be treated as a record for every community in Taos County, and a county-serving firm should not treat municipal population as a measure of its market.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels you want to review before judging performance. Separate Taos from Taos County and use the firm’s actual service area when interpreting landing pages, referrals and case outcomes. Use Lead Attribution to examine what your own inquiries did, not to convert population data into a demand forecast.
