1. Use Frankfort’s actual service area when reviewing source data
Frankfort is recorded as a municipal town in Herkimer County, New York. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 6,931, with a margin of error of 18. That is geographic and population context only; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, inquiries or revenue. For attribution, the important question is not how large the town is. It is whether your records distinguish Frankfort inquiries from matters elsewhere in Herkimer County or from other areas your firm serves.
Recommended approach
Begin by agreeing on the geographic labels your team will use for reporting. Review whether an inquiry’s location is captured as part of intake, whether the label describes the person or the matter, and whether service-area reporting should be separated from marketing-source reporting. Do not treat a Frankfort label as proof that a particular channel produced the inquiry.
