1. Start with the geography you actually serve
Wharton city and Wharton County are not interchangeable labels. The Census record identifies Wharton city as a municipality and records its county relationship as Wharton County. If your firm serves the city, the wider county, or other Texas communities, those areas should be distinguished when reviewing a lead’s landing page, referral information and eventual matter outcome. The population estimate for Wharton city is context only. It cannot tell you how many people need legal help, how many search for a lawyer, or how many inquiries your firm should expect.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic fields and service areas you want to review before discussing attribution. Ask whether the record should preserve the page visited, the referring channel and the location stated during intake without treating any location field as proof of residence, eligibility or case value.
