The Customer Profiling task is used to set up a definition query to search for geographic areas that meet a set of criteria. In other words, you can profile the composition of your customer data to determine what demographic variables best represent your customer base. In most cases, this criteria is based on an existing customer layer.

Each customer feature point is spatially matched to a single geographic feature in the geography layer specified and that feature's attributes are queried to meet the requirements set. These results are compiled for each customer and returned in the output Customer Profile.

The result of this task is the Customer Profile serialized to a XML string. It is primarily used as input for the Customer Prospecting task.
