1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Bexley is a municipality in Franklin County, Ohio. That distinction matters when you review source and outcome data. A Bexley inquiry may be one part of a broader Franklin County or Ohio practice, while a page, advertisement or referral may reach people outside Bexley. Population data cannot establish how many people are seeking counsel, which practice areas are active, or whether one channel is outperforming another. Lead Attribution should therefore preserve the geographic information your firm already uses rather than treating the city’s population as a forecast.
Recommended approach
During a review, decide whether Bexley is a reporting label, a service area, a landing-page topic, or simply one location among several. Ask whether your intake records consistently capture the person’s location and matter type. Then compare those records with journey information without presenting the ACS population estimate as evidence of demand.
