Household-Level Analytics 

At the core of fullthrottle.ai's approach is the ability to identify website visitors down to their household addresses, offering a granular view of consumer behavior. This capability allows marketers to pinpoint not only the geographic accuracy of their campaigns but also to tap into previously unreachable in-market audiences. By building marketing audiences from these rich data sets, fullthrottle.aiTM ensures that brands connect with the right consumers at the right time. 

Data Collection and Interpretation 

Our buyer propensity model listens for numerous signals during each site visit session. This comprehensive data collection process is crucial for understanding the nuances of buyer behavior and the factors that drive purchasing decisions. Our AI then interprets this data to identify patterns and trends, highlighting the most relevant signals that indicate a potential purchase. 

What Is a "Meaningful" Site Visit? 

Understanding what constitutes a meaningful site visit is crucial for separating interested visitors from casual browsers. Our platform can make this distinction by analyzing a variety of signals, each of which offers a unique insight into user engagement and intent. Here are just a few examples. In practice, our AI looks at more than a dozen of these signals before determining buyer propensity. 

Household Location 

The geographical location of a household can significantly influence buying behavior. Proximity to a retailer or service provider, for instance, might increase the likelihood of a purchase due to convenience or familiarity with local brands. 

Page Visit Volume 

A high number of page visits within a site suggests a deep interest in the content or products offered. This metric goes beyond surface-level engagement, indicating a visitor's active search for specific information or items. 

Journey Start Date and Last Visit Date 

The span between a user's first visit and their most recent session can reveal the length and depth of their buying journey. A shorter interval might indicate a swift move towards a purchase, while a longer one could suggest careful consideration or comparison shopping. 

Time In-Market 

The duration a visitor spends in the market before making a purchase decision is a telling signal of their readiness to buy. Longer periods may involve more extensive research or comparison, whereas shorter times suggest quick decision-making. 

Influencing Media Sources 

The media sources that lead visitors to the site can provide context on their interests and intentions. For instance, visitors coming from a detailed product review might be further along in the buyer's journey than those from a generic advertisement. 

Each of these signals, when analyzed collectively, helps fullthrottle.aiTM paint a comprehensive picture of a visitor's engagement and shopping intent, distinguishing meaningful visits from mere pass-through traffic
