1. Start with the geographic relationship, not a population assumption
Your firm may serve Richland Center, the rest of Richland County, Wisconsin clients outside the city, or a combination of those areas. Those are different geographic scopes, and the attribution record should preserve the distinctions that matter to your practice. A visit from someone seeking help in Richland Center is not the same geographic signal as a visit from elsewhere in Richland County, and neither automatically demonstrates that a page or channel produces a signed matter. The Census record identifies Richland Center as a municipality in Richland County and records the city’s 2020–2024 ACS population estimate as 5,109, with a margin of error of 25. Use that as context for defining the market you want to review—not as a proxy for demand or performance.
Recommended approach
Before a consultation, define the geographic questions you actually need answered: city versus county inquiries, Wisconsin-wide matters, or another service boundary. Then ask how those distinctions can be reviewed alongside source, page, intake and outcome data.
