LOCAL BUSINESS RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Build a useful local-business list without skipping the human check.

Start with a business type and location, then gather public-facing details such as names, addresses, websites, phone numbers, and listed ratings. Keep the source and search criteria with each result so a researcher can check accuracy, relevance, and appropriate use before anyone contacts a business.

The handoff

An organized list of potential local businesses with public details and source context, ready for human review.

Keep in mind

Public listings can be outdated, inaccurate, or subject to limits on collection and reuse. Check the source’s permitted use, retain only relevant business details, and have a person verify each prospect. Do not contact businesses until an authorized person approves the exact recipients and message and confirms the outreach is appropriate.

Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
