How the state signal changes this page
Attribution reporting for South Carolina should state which outcomes are observed, which are modelled and which remain unknown. Geography such as Charleston, Columbia and Greenville should remain a separate business dimension so channel credit is not confused with where the customer can be served.
For South Carolina marketing measurement, the Census series belongs outside the client's conversion ledger. Campaign reporting should preserve source, landing page, customer location and qualified outcome so management can compare real demand across Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and the wider state.
