See How it Works
On-demand journey visualizations and analytics
See where your visitors came from, where they went next, and how your competitors compare, all in one place.
The gap in your current stack
Traditional analytics are limited to your website and owned channels
Most customer journeys begin long before users reach your website and continue after they leave. Customers compare brands across multiple sessions, channels and devices, while search engines, reviews, comparison sites and third-party content heavily influence buying decisions.
Traditional on-site analytics only measure activity on your own digital properties. They cannot show:
What customers searched for before discovering your brand
Which competitors they compared during the same journey
What reviews, guides, or third-party content influenced decisions
Where audiences went after leaving your webs
How customers moved between your brand and competitors
Without this visibility, customer journey analysis becomes assumption-based rather than evidence-based.
The Alterian difference
See journeys beyond your brand
Alterian Journey Insight closes this gap using real clickstream analytics and open-web behavioral data.
Analyze complete customer journeys across search engines, social media, review platforms, partner websites, and competitor domains to understand real consumer behavior, audience movement, and competitive decision-making.
What journey intelligence reveals
Access insights your onsite analytics can't see
Understand the real customer journey across search engines, comparison websites, partner sites, and your own digital properties before, during, and after audiences engage with your brand.
Pre-visit journeys
The search queries, referral domains, category content and comparison destinations users visit before they reach your brand. Where content gaps and messaging opportunities live.
In-session comparison set
Multiple brands appearing in the same session is an explicit comparison signal. Alterian quantifies which brands customers compare you against, in what order, and how often.
Post-visit journeys
What customers do after visiting you — including whether they convert, return later, or move on. Critical for churn risk and assist effects.
Cross-session footprints
Behaviour across the user's entire activity in the panel, including categories that have nothing to do with your direct market. The wider behavioural context classic journey analytics never sees.
Search behavior throughout the journey
Search engine events with the query captured in URL parameters reveal intent in journey context — not just isolated keyword volumes.
Campaign attribution within the journey
UTM parameters on session events let you attribute campaign-driven journeys end-to-end. See which campaigns started journeys, which assisted, and which closed.

Frequently asked questions
Customer journey intelligence is the discipline of reconstructing, analysing and acting on the real, observed paths customers take across the digital ecosystem — including search engines, partner sites, content sites and your own properties. Where journey mapping is typically based on workshops and surveys, customer journey intelligence is grounded in observed behavioural data.
Customer journey analytics usually refers to on-site behaviour analysis — what users do once they reach your properties. Customer journey intelligence extends the view to the full path across the open web, including the touchpoints that happen before users arrive and after they leave. The two are complementary.
Alterian sources data from multiple opted in, anonymized behavioral panels and is 100% GDPR/CCPA compliant.
Customer journey data is collected via mobile/desktop apps and browser plugins. The data is double-blind, fully anonymized at source, and further validated before use.
With 20+ sources in the U.S. others worldwide, no single stream contributes more than 20% of the data available. This limits data bias from specific user groups, improving accuracy and reliability.
Yes. Users are identified only by an anonymised panel ID. Insights represent behavioural patterns within the observed panel rather than identified individuals.
A session is continuous browsing activity with no inactivity longer than 30 minutes — analysed within the Session Data Set (SDS). A user journey spans all sessions for a user who has interacted with your market — analysed within the Market Data Set (MDS).
Yes. Search queries are present in URL parameters when the journey event is on a search engine domain. Alterian parses these queries and presents them alongside the next-clicked destination in the journey.
