1. Set the geographic question before reviewing intake
Eggertsville is an incorporated census-designated place in Erie County, New York. A firm may serve people in Eggertsville, elsewhere in Erie County, or across a broader New York practice area; those are different geographic questions. The ACS population estimate for Eggertsville CDP can provide context for how the community is defined, but it cannot tell you how many people will contact your firm or what kinds of matters they will bring. Intake Coach is therefore best evaluated against your actual service territory and the calls your firm receives, not against a population-based forecast.
Recommended approach
Write down the places and matter types your firm accepts. During a consultation, ask how a call is associated with geography, whether the caller’s location is captured, and how your team distinguishes a matter that is inside the service area from one requiring referral or escalation. Keep Eggertsville, Erie County, New York, households, and individuals as separate geographic or demographic concepts in your internal review.
