1. Separate Amsterdam location from service-area assumptions
Amsterdam is recorded as a municipality in Montgomery County, New York. That relationship gives your firm a precise starting point for reviewing local journeys, but population is eligibility evidence only. It cannot tell you how many people search for legal services, which practice areas they need, whether another firm is competing for those searches or how many inquiries you may receive. Lead Attribution becomes useful when the geographic question is made operational: which landing pages, channels or referrals produce inquiries associated with the areas your firm actually serves?
Recommended approach
Define the geographic labels you want to review before judging the service. Keep Amsterdam city, Montgomery County and any broader area your firm serves as separate categories. Ask during the consultation how those categories would appear in a lead record and how you would distinguish a location page from a referral, advertisement or returning visit. Do not use the Census population estimate as a forecast.
