Getting Started
The Web Insights tool in the Choozle platform acts as an aggregator for demographic and psychographic data points and allows you to view data trends of the profiles matched from web traffic.
Once collected, user profiles from your website visitors are matched with user pools collected from our data partners. The profiles are aggregated to show results for more than 120 unique demographic, psychographic, consumer purchase, lifestyle and behavior characteristic modules in North America.
These characteristics can be viewed by browsing or searching and include:
- Demographics
- Purchase Behaviors
- Lifestyle Segmentation
- Media Consumption
- Financials and Predictors
- B2B
Presented in a visually appealing interface via the platform, all insights are anonymous and aggregated, thus completely privacy compliant. For more information, please view our Privacy Policy.
Data collection will begin immediately upon proper implementation of the Choozle Smart Container Tag. Initial data should be available for review 4 to 7 days after the date the Smart Container Tag has been placed, contingent on web traffic volume. We recommend reviewing these data points after the Smart Container Tag has been placed for one week. With the Smart Container placed and desired pages added with Insights enabled under Manage My Sites, profiles begin to collect. Those cookie profiles are matched based on hundreds of data points and are then aggregated and anonymously placed into the charts in Insights, where they visualize. The data is on a rolling 30-day lookback window, and there is no historical data, so it is recommended that users export reports every month if they want historical data.
If you do not see any data within 4 to 7 days, there may be an issue with the Smart Container Tag placement, in which case we suggest you submit a support ticket. If you use Google Tag Manager or you need assistance implementing the Smart Container Tag please submit a support ticket.
You can select your favorite data points and build a custom dashboard to monitor your website traffic, or browse or search among multiple data categories to find new potential audiences for your web traffic. Favorite up to 20 charts by staring them, which will move them to the main Insights page and make them printable on the PDF reports. Segments' reaches show the actual count of site visitors who fall into a segment, while the potential reaches show the potential reach of a corresponding data segment from the data catalog, showing by how much an audience could be extended.
Please note that Web Insights is currently ONLY available in the following countries: the United States and Canada.

Organizing Your Web Insights
- Insights will show a cross-device view of your website traffic in a single, aggregated view. If you want to view a cross section for a particular site simply select the Show Data option in drop-down menu:
- You do have options to further sort the data in Web Insights. You can utilize the Manage My Sites feature to get a more granular view of your website's insights. By adding additional sites to Manage My Sites, the operator will have the ability to see the insights of different pages (i.e., your homepage, your shopping cart, and the completed transaction pages).
- If a site is enabled, you will be able to see how the demographics, purchase behaviors, and other characteristics of that website traffic change based on the different pages of user pools on your website (e.g., how all of your website traffic compare to people who reach a checkout confirmation page).
- You can also use the pools of user profiles created by this taxonomy of your website traffic as layers to your custom audiences, just as you would build a retargeting audience (i.e., you can retarget to anyone who came to your website but "exclude" individuals who reached the checkout page of your website).
- If a site is enabled, you will be able to see how the demographics, purchase behaviors, and other characteristics of that website traffic change based on the different pages of user pools on your website (e.g., how all of your website traffic compare to people who reach a checkout confirmation page).
Web Insights Reporting
Once your insights have begun populating, you can create a PDF and save a report of your Web Insights overview. Saving this will allow you to see the hard counts of the visitors of your favorited data segments. The PDF Report button can be found in the upper right corner of the screen.
