Add population context to recurring market reviews
Keep market research grounded in the population estimates behind the places you are considering.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Population Estimates
Retrieves population estimates and related demographic or population-change data.
Why this helps
Founders often revisit the same markets without a consistent population context to inform prioritization.
- Add population estimates to a repeatable market review.
- Keep geographic assumptions visible in each report.
- Spot missing vintages or geography details before interpreting results.
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 Census population estimates for your named geographies and vintage.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real geography and confirm the population vintage and limits are clear.
Questions about this workflow
Can this determine which market is best?
It can organize Ahrefs research with Census population estimates, but your criteria and decision logic should be supplied in the instruction.
Which geographies can it cover?
The population estimates tool supports specific geographies based on the chosen dataset and vintage. Name the locations and ask Notis to identify unsupported requests.
Does the population figure represent current real-time population?
No. Population estimates have a vintage and coverage period. The report should identify that context rather than imply real-time counts.
