1. Start with the geographic question your reports must answer
Reading is recorded as a municipality in Hamilton County, Ohio. That matters because a report can blur together a Reading visitor, someone elsewhere in Hamilton County and a broader Ohio inquiry if geographic labels are not reviewed carefully. It is simply a boundary-setting fact. Before you assess attribution, decide whether your firm needs to distinguish Reading from the rest of Hamilton County and from other areas it serves. Then review whether each journey retains the landing page, referrer and channel information needed to interpret those locations without guessing.
Recommended approach
Ask in the consultation how location is represented in the records and dashboard. Ask whether the reporting reflects the geography your firm actually uses when evaluating inquiries.
