LOCAL BUSINESS RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Build a useful local business list, with the original details close at hand.

Start with a place or category search and collect available business names, addresses, websites, phone numbers, ratings, and review counts. Keep each result tied to its public listing so a person can check accuracy and relevance before using the information.

The handoff

A source-linked research list of candidate businesses and available contact and location details, held for human verification before outreach or reporting.

Keep in mind

Public listings can be incomplete, outdated, duplicated, or associated with the wrong business. A person should open the original listing, verify each contact detail and rating in context, and approve the intended use before outreach, external sharing, or business decisions.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose search boundaries

Set the geographic area, business categories, and any limits on how broad or specific the search should be.

Select the fields to keep

Choose only the public business details needed for the research and retain a source link for each result.

Set list access and review ownership

Choose an appropriate internal destination and name who verifies listing details and approves later use.

Test sparse, duplicate, and distant results

Check representative results and confirm uncertain details are flagged for a person rather than treated as verified facts.

Keep exploring

Prepare a local business prospect list

Organize publicly available business details for selected areas and categories into a de-duplicated prospect list for a person to review.
