LOCAL MARKET RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Understand a local business landscape without treating every listing as a sales lead.

For a permitted research project, organize public business listing details for selected categories and locations, such as business names, addresses, and published contact channels. Respect source terms and access limits, minimize personal details, check for duplicate or outdated entries, and require a researcher to approve any outreach or external use.
