1. Start with the geographic record, not a demand assumption
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate is 31,859 people, with a margin of error of 30. That is useful for defining the market you want to examine. It does not establish how many people are searching for legal services, which practice areas are active, how many competitors are visible, or how many inquiries your firm should expect. Lead Attribution should therefore begin with geographic scope: decide whether a record belongs to Warwick, another Orange County community, or a different service area, then compare that scope with the case type and the path that produced the inquiry.
Recommended approach
Ask which locations should be attached to an inquiry, which locations should be compared, and whether a geographic label reflects the prospective client’s matter, the landing page, or both.
