1. Start with Fairwood’s exact service geography
Fairwood is recorded as a CDP in Spokane County. That distinction matters when you review lead records: a Fairwood inquiry, a Spokane County inquiry, and an inquiry from the wider Washington market are not interchangeable geographic categories. Population can help define the place you serve, but it cannot tell you whether people are searching for a particular legal service or whether one marketing channel is producing qualified matters. Attribution should therefore preserve the geography your firm actually uses in intake rather than treating every Washington contact as a Fairwood lead.
Recommended approach
Decide how your team will identify Fairwood-related inquiries before reviewing performance. Use the firm’s existing intake fields, service-area rules, and matter records as the basis for that decision. Then compare Fairwood, Spokane County, and broader Washington records only when the underlying data supports those distinctions.
