1. Start with the Pinehurst geography your firm actually serves
The Census record identifies Pinehurst village and its relationship to Moore County. It does not establish that every inquiry comes from the village, that a countywide audience behaves the same way, or that a particular practice area has demand there. Those distinctions matter when you interpret landing pages, referrals and signed matters. A lead attributed to a Pinehurst page is not automatically a Pinehurst resident, and a person in Moore County may contact a firm through a page describing a broader service area.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing attribution, define the geographic labels your firm will use: Pinehurst village, Moore County, another permitted service area, or an unspecified location. Ask whether the proposed records preserve the landing page and referral information needed to distinguish those contexts. Keep geography as a classification question, not a substitute for evidence of demand or case value.
