Geo Summary & Optimizer Basics

How to Read

The Geo Summary tab shows how the total sales and sales per point of distribution vary by state and by geographic region (e.g. Southwest, Northeast, etc). The Geo Optimizer tab highlights lagging states with opportunities to improve. It shows where a brand's state-level market share is lower than the brand's Nationwide Category Share. It also calculates the revenue uplift of raising the state-level market share to the brand's Nationwide Category Share.

How to Use

After filtering for your brands, use the Geo Summary to understand what states and regions are driving your sales. Then switch to the Geo Optimizer to find where you’re relatively underperforming and where there are opportunities for expansion.
