  • Supports tract and block group level analysis.
  • Adds fine-grained planning context to ad research.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adyntel and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Planning Database indicators for specified tracts or block groups and summarize them with relevant Adyntel findings.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real tract or block group.

Questions about this workflow

What type of data does the Planning Database include?

It includes tract and block group level planning data such as population estimates, ACS statistics, and 2020 Census operational variables.

Can I compare a whole city?

The action is useful at tract and block group levels. Specify the geographies you need and request aggregation only when the data supports it.

Does this action choose local markets based on ads?

No. Provide the locations or areas to analyze; Adyntel context may help frame the summary.
