1. Define the geography before judging a source
Sultan is a city municipality in Snohomish County, Washington. A firm may serve Sultan, other parts of Snohomish County, or a wider Washington market, but those are different geographic scopes. Attribution becomes less useful when every inquiry is simply labeled “Sultan” or “Washington” without recording the actual service area, matter location or relevant intake answer.
Recommended approach
At consultation, agree on the geographic distinctions your team needs to review. Ask whether a record can preserve the landing page, source and intake information without collapsing Sultan, Snohomish County and broader Washington inquiries into one category. Review how staff will interpret an inquiry whose residence, incident location and preferred office area differ.
