1. Define the geographic record before judging performance
Kirkland is recorded as a municipality in King County, Washington. That relationship matters when you review location-based pages, referrals and inquiries: “Kirkland” should not quietly be treated as all of King County, the Seattle metropolitan area or Washington. Households, individuals and municipalities are also different units of analysis. Lead Attribution can make the geographic question more useful by preserving the landing page and journey associated with an inquiry. If your firm reviews a Kirkland page, a county-focused page and a broader Washington page, you can ask which page was involved in each recorded journey. That does not prove why a person chose the firm, but it gives you a firmer record than a broad “online” source label.
Recommended approach
Agree on the geographic labels your firm will use before reviewing results. Keep Kirkland, King County and Washington separate, and ask whether each lead reached a consultation or signed case.
