If your goal is auditing billboard locations and prioritizing inventory by market, the most effective traffic-count analytics tool is usually one that combines:
- roadway traffic volume data
- location-level visibility/context
- market-level filtering and ranking
- easy export/reporting for sales and planning
Best overall fit: StreetMetrics
For billboard and OOH-specific traffic analytics, StreetMetrics is often the strongest choice because it’s built for outdoor media inventory analysis rather than just general traffic counting. It helps with:
- estimating audience exposure,
- comparing locations by market,
- analyzing nearby traffic patterns,
- and supporting inventory prioritization with location intelligence.
Strong alternatives depending on your needs
- Geopath: best for standardized OOH audience measurement and planning across the industry.
- AirSage / Cuebiq / Placer.ai: better if you want mobility and visitation intelligence beyond just traffic counts.
- INRIX / HERE / TomTom traffic data: strong for raw traffic and congestion insights, especially if you have your own GIS/BI team.
- DOT / state traffic count databases: useful for low-cost baseline counts, but usually not enough for inventory prioritization on their own.
If you want the most practical recommendation
- For OOH-specific auditing and prioritization: StreetMetrics
- For industry-standard media planning: Geopath
- For broader market analytics and mobility patterns: Placer.ai
