Foot Traffic Studies
Foot Traffic Attribution, powered by OnSpot, allows Advertisers to measure visits to tracked commercial Locations following Ad exposure through Pontiac.
Attribution uses Mobile Advertising IDs and mobile GPS location data to identify users who were served an Ad and were later observed at a configured Location.

How Foot Traffic Attribution Works
- Mobile Attribution: OnSpot identifies users who were served an Ad and whose mobile device was later detected at a tracked Location.
- CTV Household Extension: For CTV Campaigns, household extension can associate TVs, desktops, and laptops with mobile devices using household IP relationships. Mobile GPS data can then be used to attribute a Location visit to an exposed household.
- Availability: Foot Traffic Attribution is currently available only in the United States.
- Location Limit: Each Line can track up to 200 Locations.
