Semcasting's verified homeownership, property, and home lifecycle data identifies households actively planning repairs, renovations, and services at the national level for franchise brands, or at the hyperlocal level for individual operators.

DATA TO LIVE CAMPAIGN
Data CoVERAGE

Homeowner Data That Goes Far Beyond Ownership Status

Semcasting's homeowner data covers property age, home value, time-in-home, recent purchase, equity level, and service category propensity, identifying households with both the need and the means to hire.

Homeownership_Property_256

Homeownership & Property Data

Verified homeowner status, property type (single family, condo, multi-unit), home value estimate, square footage, lot size, year built, and bedroom count, all at the individual property level, matched to digital household identities for campaign activation.

New_Mover_256

New Mover & Recent Buyer Targeting

Home_Age_Maintenance_256

Home Age & Maintenance Trigger Data

Homes aged 15-25 years represent peak HVAC, roofing, and plumbing replacement windows. Semcasting identifies households by property age layered with income and equity - prioritizing homeowners facing major service needs.

Equity_Renovation_256

Home Equity & Renovation Propensity

Estimated home equity, home improvement loan indicators, and renovation propensity scores, identifying households with the intent and financial capacity for major home improvement projects, not just minor repairs.

Franchise_Territory_256

Franchise Territory Precision

Territory-level targeting with hard geographic boundaries, ensuring each franchisee's campaign stays within their protected territory while the brand maintains consistent national creative standards and consolidated reporting.

Seasonal_Triggers_256

Seasonal & Category Trigger Signals

HVAC pre-season, lawn care spring activation, gutter cleaning fall window, holiday lighting installation, snow removal - seasonal service demand cycles tied to specific household types and property profiles for in-window campaign deployment.

HOW IT WORKS

From Service Territory to Live Campaign in 48 Hours

Home Services requires more than impression reporting. Semcasting's closed-loop attribution connects ad exposure to sales using the same deterministic identity graph used for targeting.
