1. Start with Hanover’s actual service geography
Hanover is a municipality in York County, Pennsylvania. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 16,584 residents, with a margin of error of 29. Your firm may serve people in Hanover, elsewhere in York County, or beyond it, depending on its practice and service area. Attribution should therefore preserve the geography attached to each inquiry rather than treating “Hanover” as a universal source label.
Recommended approach
Before evaluating attribution, define the geographic questions your firm actually needs answered. Decide whether reports should distinguish Hanover from the wider York County service area, and whether geographic analysis is part of intake, marketing review or case management. Ask for a review of how location is currently recorded and whether the resulting reports would support your decisions.
