1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
The U.S. Census Bureau records Denton as a municipality in Denton County. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 152,866, with a margin of error of 90. That is geographic and population context only; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, lead volume or revenue. Attribution should therefore distinguish Denton city from Denton County and from any broader Texas or metropolitan service area your firm chooses to target. A report that collapses those areas into one label can make a channel appear stronger or weaker simply because the geographic definition changed.
Recommended approach
Before reviewing performance, write down the geographic scope for each service line and decide which location labels must remain separate. Ask whether an inquiry came from a Denton city page, another Denton County page, a broader Texas page, a referral or a source with no useful location signal. Use the population record as eligibility context, not as a forecast.
