Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Mebane’s county relationships matter when you review intake and reporting boundaries. A matter may be associated with Mebane, Alamance County, Orange County, another North Carolina location or more than one service area. Population alone cannot tell you how many people will contact a law firm, what legal services they need or which channels they use. Attribution should therefore preserve the location information your firm already collects rather than treating the city’s population as a forecast. In a consultation, review whether your reporting distinguishes a Mebane inquiry from a broader county or North Carolina inquiry, and whether the same lead can be evaluated without collapsing separate geographies.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic fields and service-area rules you want to use before judging channel performance. Keep Mebane, Alamance County, Orange County and North Carolina as distinct reporting concepts where they are relevant to your intake decisions.
