The primer
Foot-traffic data is built from mobile-device location signals, sampled from apps and ad exchanges, then cleaned into visit counts at specific points of interest. Aggregated to the store, brand, or chain level, it estimates how many people walked into a venue and how that is trending. Investors use it to nowcast same-store sales and to gauge the pull of a new format or location. Privacy compliance, panel stability over time, and the quality of place-matching are the decisive considerations.
