Methodology Behind the KPIs
Data is based on an aggregated panel of more than 25,000 verified German consumers. Panel data is weighted by age and gender using the AGOF Online reference population to reflect the composition of the German online population, making the results representative and projectable beyond the panel itself. The data set includes insights from more than 3,000 LinkedIn users, 11,000 YouTube users, and 11,000 TikTok users. Data is updated weekly, with historical data available for up to 12 months. Product categories are defined using the Shopify and Amazon taxonomies, while video content is categorized using YouTube’s content classification system. All data is reported in aggregate and reflects activity among Datapods’ verified human panel.
