1. Start with the geographic question, not an assumed demand claim
Mount Airy is recorded as a municipality in Surry County, North Carolina. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate for Mount Airy is 10,633, with a margin of error of 48. Your attribution design should therefore distinguish Mount Airy from the wider county and from any other service area your firm chooses to serve. A record that identifies only “North Carolina” may be too broad for a local budget decision, while a record tied to a specific page or referral may provide a more useful starting point.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing performance, define which locations your firm is actually evaluating: Mount Airy, Surry County or another stated service area. Then ask whether location is being recorded as a page context, an intake answer, a matter field or something else.
