Why this helps
Teams can keep revisiting market research without refreshing the annual demographic context behind it.
- Use the most recent annual ACS data available for specified areas.
- Keep the chosen geography and variables clear in each run.
- Review current annual context beside Ahrefs findings.
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 summarize the relevant Ahrefs market research and retrieve ACS one-year estimates for your specified areas and variables.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one area and verify the report names the ACS year and variables used.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use one-year estimates?
Use them when you need the most recent annual ACS data available for a given area, subject to dataset availability and supported geography.
Does this provide a multi-year detailed estimate?
No. Use ACS five-year estimates when detailed estimates by geography and variables are required.
Can the schedule guarantee the newest release is used?
The instruction should ask Notis to use the most recent available annual data and identify the year returned so you can confirm it.
