Now, on to the good stuff.

This data is used for various use cases, such as site selection, trade area analysis, investment research, SMB analysis, lead scoring, and more. In this data, a mobile user is counted once per day. Meaning, that even if the mobile user left the premises and returned, their visitation to the area will be counted once.

    • Sourced from an industry leader in location analytics.
    • Data is updated weekly
    • Covers normalized foot traffic data in the US and raw global data

    Firmographics dataset

    The Firmographics dataset provides essential information on global companies, including revenue range, company size, industry codes, and more. This data source combines and cross-checks information between multiple sources of data to provide as much coverage and accuracy as possible.

    • New signal: Company’s number of locations is now available in the dataset. This signal indicates how many physical locations exist under the same company (Not the ultimate parent – e.g. Google != Youtube).
    • New signal: Google business category is now available in the dataset. The signal provides the classified business category assigned by a business page owner on Google.
    • Coverage boost: upgrades were made to the Industry classification signals including the NAICS, SIC, and LinkedIn category signals. Most entities that have one of the 3 signals, will have an autocomplete value for the other 2.
    • Coverage boost: 8.5M new business entities were added to the dataset, which now has a total of ~130M entities. Customers should expect higher coverage on SMBs in the US, and higher fill rates on NAICS codes & URLs.
    • Matching improvement: the mechanism for parsing addresses inserted as free text to the ‘Address’ ontology was upgraded. Addresses that are broken down into columns by street, city, and state will still yield optimal results.

    Generate studio additions:

    An internal source unifying contact data from a variety of sources is now available in the Generate studio and has increased coverage by 20M records. This addition immediately impacts the availability of contact info for lead generation for both individuals, and businesses.

    Improvements were made to the dataset’s stability and performance, improving coverage to 87%-92%.
