How should I structure my taxonomy?

1. Hierarchy & Depth

Organize segments from broad to specific. Aim for 2 to 3 levels to keep navigation simple but detailed.

  • Example: Lifestyle > Fitness > Gym

2. Clear Naming

  • Self-Explanatory: Use descriptive names (e.g., "Frequent Travelers") rather than internal codes. Dataset names should be intuitive and give clients an understanding of what they represent, rather than being called just ‘high’, ‘low’, ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

3. Consistency

  • Keep your structure uniform across all countries and categories. This makes it easier for users to find and scale your segments. Dataset descriptions should be used to give further context or explanations to datasets to ensure that clients can use them without any questions.
