1. Start with Pembroke’s actual service area, not a population assumption
The U.S. Census Bureau records Pembroke as a municipal town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 18,382 and a margin of error of 25. That figure describes the town’s population; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, lead volume or revenue. It also does not define every place your firm serves. Before reviewing attribution, separate Pembroke inquiries from matters originating elsewhere in Plymouth County, other Massachusetts communities or a broader metropolitan area. That geographic distinction affects how you interpret landing pages and channel performance.
Recommended approach
Bring a clear service-area definition to the consultation. Ask whether your reporting should distinguish Pembroke from other communities your firm serves, and whether a lead’s location is collected as part of intake. Review geographic attribution alongside case type rather than treating the town population as a forecast.
