LOCAL BUSINESS RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Build a useful local business list and check it before any follow-up.

For research the requester is authorized to conduct, collect selected public business listing details and relevant information from business websites, then organize the results for review. Respect source access and reuse terms, avoid collecting unnecessary personal contact details, preserve references and collection dates, verify accuracy, and require a separate review of contact eligibility and preferences before outreach.

The handoff

A deduplicated business list with original references, collection dates, and follow-up review status.

Keep in mind

Public listings can be outdated, duplicated, or include personal information, and collection methods may have source restrictions. Follow applicable terms, keep only necessary fields, independently verify details, and do not infer outreach permission from a public listing.
