1. Start with New Castle’s actual geographic scope
The relevant place is New Castle town, New York, recorded in Westchester County. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey five-year estimate records 18,022 residents, with a margin of error of 61. That is geographic and population context—not evidence of legal demand, search activity, competition, call volume or revenue. Attribution should therefore avoid turning a population figure into a forecast. Instead, review the journeys generated by the firm’s actual service areas and distinguish New Castle inquiries from matters originating elsewhere in Westchester County or New York. The geographic question is not simply whether a page received a visit. It is whether the inquiry was relevant to the firm’s practice, where the visitor entered, and what happened after contact.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic fields and reporting views you need before judging performance. Ask how New Castle, Westchester County and broader New York inquiries will be identified, and decide whether a location is recorded from the visitor’s stated matter information, the page they visited, or both. Treat those fields as operational definitions rather than proof of legal need.
