Footfall Attribution

See the customers your ads actually sent through your door

SmartReachAI.us Footfall Attribution measures real, in-store visits driven by your digital campaigns — so you can prove ROI in walk-ins, not just clicks and impressions.

The numbers that matter

Proof measured in visits — and dollars per visit

An example Footfall Attribution report. Every figure ties a media dollar to a confirmed real-world visit.

3,052

Attributed Visits

Real people who saw your ads and later walked into your store.

+18%

Visitation Lift

How much more likely an exposed customer was to visit vs. someone who never saw your ads.

$14.87

Average Cost / Visit

The true media cost of every measured in-store visit — the number that pays your rent.

8–10 days

Reporting Freshness

Visits are confirmed and reported on a short, honest processing delay — never inflated in real time.

How it works

From a mapped storefront to a confirmed walk-in

1. Map your real-world locations

We build a precise boundary around each of your stores — either an exact rooftop polygon or a tight custom radius — so we only count people who genuinely visited you, not passers-by on the road or sidewalk.

2. Reach in-market customers

Your SmartReachAI.us campaigns run across CTV, display, video, native and audio — reaching the households and devices most likely to convert into a walk-in.

3. Attribute the visit

When a device that was exposed to your ads later shows up inside one of your mapped locations, that visit is attributed back to the campaign that drove it — within your chosen attribution window (default 30 days).

4. Prove the lift

We compare exposed customers against a look-alike control group who never saw your ads, and report the measurable increase in visits your campaign caused — statistically validated.

Inside your report

Three views, one clear ROI story

Footfall graph

See exactly when your customers walk in — by hour of day and day of week, in each location's own timezone — so you can time offers, staffing and radio spots around real demand.

Footfall summary

Attributed visits, projected visits, total location visits, total media cost, average cost-per-visit and visitation lift — the whole ROI story on one screen.

Footfall table

A per-location breakdown: total visits, impression-driven vs. click-driven visits, and the average time from seeing your ad to walking in the door.

Coverage & privacy

Accurate where you operate — compliant everywhere

Rooftop-accurate in the US

Provide your store addresses and we track pre-built rooftop boundaries for high-accuracy, fast setup across United States locations.

Global radius & custom shapes

Outside the US — or for stores inside malls, plazas and non-standard footprints — we track by latitude, longitude and a tight radius, or a custom polygon you draw on the map.

Business-hours filtering

Focus reporting on the hours you're actually open, matched to each location's local timezone, so after-hours noise never distorts your visit counts.

Privacy & sensitive-location guardrails

Aggregate, privacy-safe measurement only. Residential, healthcare, worship, correctional and other sensitive location types are never tracked — measurement stays compliant by design.

Footfall Attribution requires trackable, non-sensitive locations and a recommended active media budget to reach statistical significance. Reporting is aggregate and privacy-safe. Talk to your SmartReachAI.us strategist to confirm coverage for your locations.

Case study

A neighborhood restaurant, more tables filled

A 4-location casual-dining brand ran a 90-day SmartReachAI.us competitor-conquesting campaign and measured the walk-ins it drove.

BEFORE · BASELINE 90 DAYS
2,586

monthly measured visits

Relying on search and social ads that reported clicks and impressions — but couldn't prove a single walk-in.

AFTER · WITH FOOTFALL ATTRIBUTION
3,052

monthly attributed visits

The same budget, now pointed at in-market customers near competitors — with every visit confirmed and tied back to a campaign.

+18%

Visitation lift

Statistically significant vs. control.

+466

Incremental walk-ins / mo

Visits the campaign caused, not coincidence.

$14.87

Cost per visit

Down from an unmeasurable cost-per-click.

“For the first time we could see the ad budget turning into people at our tables — not just clicks on a dashboard.”
— Multi-unit restaurant operator

Representative results based on a real SmartReachAI.us engagement; figures rounded. Individual results vary by market, budget and category.

Tie every dollar to a walk-in

Stop optimizing toward clicks that never became customers. Footfall Attribution points your budget at the campaigns that actually fill your store.

Win the in-market moment

Reach people while they're deciding where to spend — then prove how many chose you over the competitor down the street.

Report your clients trust

Attributed visits, visitation lift and cost-per-visit, each labeled by evidence level with full methodology — never an inflated claim.
