1. Define the geography before you judge a source
Rye is recorded as a municipal town in Westchester County, New York. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for Rye is 48,734, with a margin of error of 83. Your attribution review should therefore distinguish Rye from Westchester County and from any wider metropolitan or statewide service area your firm chooses to serve. A visitor associated with Rye is not automatically a qualified Rye matter, and a Westchester inquiry is not necessarily a local fit.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing channels, write down the geographic labels your intake team uses and the areas your firm actually accepts. Ask whether a source record should preserve the visitor’s stated location, the landing page’s location, the firm’s service area, or all three. Keep those concepts separate so a location page is not treated as proof that a matter belongs in a particular county.
