1. Start with the Magna metro service area, not a population assumption
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 30,031, with a margin of error of 50. A firm may serve clients in Magna metro, elsewhere in Salt Lake County, or other areas, depending on its actual practice and intake policy.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic scope before reviewing reputation performance. Separate Magna metro from the broader Salt Lake County area in your internal reporting, profile descriptions, consultation language, and inquiry qualification. Decide whether a review program should ask every eligible client, only clients connected to particular offices or practice areas, or clients across the firm’s full service territory. Then compare the location attached to inquiries with the location you intend to serve.
