1. Start with London’s service boundary, not a guessed lead count
Your firm may serve London city, Madison County or a wider Ohio area, but those are not interchangeable scopes. London is a municipality, and the Census record places it in Madison County. The population estimate describes the city; it does not describe the number of households, individuals seeking counsel or inquiries your firm receives. Automation should therefore begin with the geographic and practice boundaries you choose to serve, rather than a population-based assumption about demand. Review which website forms, calls, chats or video intakes belong in the workflow, which locations or matter types require different handling, and whether an inquiry outside your intended scope should be routed for review instead of treated as a qualified matter.
Recommended approach
Bring your actual service-area rules and intake categories to the consultation. Decide whether routing should distinguish London, Madison County and other Ohio locations, and document what your team does when an inquiry falls outside the firm’s stated scope.
