Why ClickScapes?

ClickScapes leverages billions of data points to help analysts:

  • Monitor weekly and monthly trends – Track own, competitors’ and category visit trends and see how different populations compare to overall trends in Canada
  • Profile website and app visitors – Develop a deeper understanding of own website and app visitors, and those of competitors by connecting ClickScapes to PRIZM and DemoStats
  • Plan for omnichannel media execution – Target based on audience media preferences, improve digital media buying decisions and track campaign impacts week by week
  • Access detailed trends and profile data for any defined geography – Analyze digital behaviour for custom catchment areas right down to the neighbourhood level

Frequently Asked Questions

 

ClickScapes is built using privacy-compliant web behaviour characteristics derived from telecom data together with demographic data including EA's DemoStats and PRIZM. Telecom data were provided to EA in an aggregated and de-identified format. No PII was provided.
No. The web behaviour characteristics that are fed into the ClickScapes modelling process are based on network traffic.
Yes. All of the demographic data ingredients to ClickScapes come from DemoStats and PRIZM, both privacy compliant geodemographic data sources that have been trusted for decades. The web behaviour data ingredients are provided to EA in an aggregated and de-identified form and subjected to minimum observation thresholds. The neighbourhood estimates are derived from EA proprietary models. In addition, certain sensitive web behaviours have been removed.
ClickScapes data capture web behaviours from all types of devices, including phones and laptops, however ClickScapes does not categorize these behaviours by device type. For example, ClickScapes reports how many visitors went to a particular website using any device. It does not identify visitors to a website via a laptop.
There are two sources of web behaviour data feeding into ClickScapes. The first is a national database of the web behaviours observed on the mobile network. The second is a database of the web behaviours observed on the home internet network which is collected from Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, an area that represents three-quarters of the Canadian population. The home internet web behaviours for regions outside of Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes have been estimated using a series of machine learning algorithms that rely on observed relationships between home internet and mobile network web behaviour and local demographics.
The web behaviour machine learning and spatial models underlying ClickScapes were built using big data. Big data differs from surveys in that they are not random samples of the population but rather real sensor data collected from very large subsets of the population. We have taken these data and, leveraging our expertise with geodemographic projections and modelling techniques, incorporated known population characteristics (from PRIZM and DemoStats) to enhance our estimates and adjust for the method of the big data’s collection. In this way, EA’s traditional data have been used to make ClickScapes representative of the Canadian population, allowing for accurate, population-adjusted insights.
ClickScapes data are available starting from January 2021.
ClickScapes is available at all levels of standard geography down to the dissemination area (DA) level.

The main difference is the time periods for which data are available. ClickScapes contains data for yearly and quarterly time periods, reported as monthly averages, whereas ClickScapes Trends contains the same yearly and quarterly time periods as ClickScapes but adds in weekly and monthly time periods. ClickScapes Trends are updated monthly for the most current access to changing consumer browsing habits.

ClickScapes can be used for profiling website and app visitors and to gain a better understanding of the web preferences of your customers or markets. ClickScapes Trends builds on those capabilities and identifies how those profiles and preferences change on a weekly or monthly basis allowing users to identify and react to emerging trends. ClickScapes Trends licensees have access to ClickScapes.

ClickScapes Trends, which contains weekly and monthly time periods, is updated monthly. ClickScapes, which contains quarterly and yearly time periods, is updated annually.
Unique visitors are the count of total households that visited a website, app, interest category or company within the specified time frame.
