    Track and Optimize Streaming Campaigns

    Geographic Market Share iQ, or GMS iQ for short, is a representation of the foot-traffic market share that a particular dealership received attributed to an EvoAttribute enabled campaign. Simply stated, it is a measurement aimed to help a dealership understand how competitive the store is in its given market.

    How does GMS iQ work?

    Streaming Campaigns enabled with EvoAttribute not only track walk-ins to the supported dealership, but to all stores visited by any consumer who saw a streaming advertising ad. Given that all dealership walk-ins attributed to a campaign are tracked deterministically, we have created an index to measure each store’s allotment of walk-ins.

    How do you attribute a walk-in to a CTV impression?

    Utilizing the Household graph’s advertising interactions log (learn more about EvoAttribute), when any device from the household walks into a dealership, it is attributed to the streaming ad impression. The location data partner we utilize is the same company that powers location data for Uber, Amazon, and Apple, covering roughly 90% of the US cell phone market. Among other data points, they provide the location of all users who visit retail automotive locations associated to our tracking tags.

    How accurate is GMS iQ?

    Our location data is taken through a rigorous cleansing mechanism for employees, non-sales dealer visits, and anomaly visitors (those who show at the location for less than 5 minutes). All of these low or no value visitors are removed from the reports. You can be assured that any visits that do make it through these filters are of the precise nature of dealership walk-ins. GMS iQ is normalized for all economic, macro or local conditions as well as seasonality, inventory shortages, and other outside factors.
