1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The U.S. Census Bureau records Port Royal as a municipality in Beaufort County. That distinction matters when you interpret attribution records. A lead whose journey includes a Port Royal page, a Beaufort County page or a broader South Carolina page should not automatically be treated as the same geographic opportunity. The place named in a visitor’s path is not proof of residence, eligibility, urgency or case value. Nor does Port Royal’s population estimate establish how many people search for legal services or how many inquiries a firm should expect.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic fields and reporting questions before reviewing performance. Decide whether you want to distinguish Port Royal from Beaufort County and from other South Carolina service areas, then use those distinctions consistently in page, campaign and intake reviews. Ask whether a source produced a qualified inquiry, a consultation or a signed matter—not merely whether someone visited a local page.
