How Placer.ai’s location intelligence and foot traffic data support site selection, retail analytics, and commercial real estate decisions.
Location intelligence is the analysis of where people go, when, and who they are, used to make decisions about physical places. Placer.ai is a location intelligence platform built on foot traffic data. It shows visits, trade areas, audiences, and rankings for virtually any US property, chain, industry category, or regional market.
Foot traffic data estimates how many people visit a location, when they visit, how long they stay, and where they come from. Placer.ai’s foot traffic data comes from a panel of tens of millions of mobile devices, sourced from vetted mobile app providers. Identifiers are removed, and the data is aggregated and extrapolated with machine learning to estimate visits. It refreshes daily. Details are on the Our Data page.
Placer.ai’s site selection software ranks candidate sites by real visit volume, True Trade Area, and the demographics and psychographics of the people who already spend time nearby. Teams use trade area analysis to size cannibalization risk and void analysis to find the tenants or categories a location is missing.
Retailers use Placer.ai as a retail analytics platform to benchmark stores against competitors, understand shoppers, and track retail foot traffic without installing in-store counters. Commercial real estate owners, developers, and brokers use its commercial real estate data to support leasing, acquisitions, and due diligence. Restaurants, CPG brands, investors, health systems, and civic organizations also use Placer.ai.
Yes. Placer.ai shows the demographic and psychographic profile of a location’s visitors, including income, household makeup, and interests, along with the neighborhoods they come from. All data is aggregated, so teams see audiences, never individuals.
Many location data providers sell raw mobility or POI data that teams must clean and model themselves. Placer.ai delivers finished foot traffic analytics, including visits, trade areas, audiences, and rankings, in a ready-to-use platform. Investors also use it as alternative data to track company and sector performance.
Yes. Placer.ai data is available in the core platform, through the API for programmatic access, and as custom data feeds for delivery at scale. GIS teams can also work with Placer.ai data in Esri ArcGIS for geospatial analytics alongside their own map layers.
