LOCAL BUSINESS RESEARCH · Workflow idea
For a researcher with an approved local market purpose, collect selected public business listing details such as business name, address, website, and published phone number, then organize them in a restricted research sheet. Follow source terms and access limits, collect only business information needed for the stated purpose, and check for duplicates or outdated details. A public listing is not consent for marketing outreach; verify the business and contact basis separately before contacting anyone.
01 / The starting point
A defined public search, permitted listing information, and an approved research destination
“Create a consistent business directory without collecting unnecessary personal data or assuming outreach permission.”
02 / The work
