Turn market coordinates into Census geography
Use coordinates from a location research task to identify the Census areas that contain them.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Geocode Coordinates
Finds Census geographic areas associated with coordinates.
Why this helps
Coordinates alone are difficult to use in Census data queries without the corresponding geographic identifiers.
- Identify Census-defined areas for a pair of coordinates.
- Prepare map points for data queries by geography.
- Get a report that calls out ambiguous or incomplete coordinate inputs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to reverse geocode the latitude and longitude in the request and return associated Census geographies.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real coordinate pair and confirm the returned geography is suitable for your analysis.
Questions about this workflow
What input does this workflow need?
It needs decimal degree latitude and longitude coordinates. Include the coordinate pair in the webhook request.
What geography levels can be returned?
The action can return Census-defined areas including states, counties, tracts, blocks, congressional districts, and other boundaries.
Does this identify the original Ahrefs page or keyword?
No. Include context in your webhook request if you want the report to connect the coordinates to a particular research item.
