LOCAL BUSINESS RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Build a useful local business list and check every record before outreach.

For research the requester is authorized to conduct, search permitted public business listings by location and category and organize relevant business details in a spreadsheet. Respect source access and reuse terms, collect only fields needed for the stated purpose, verify current information against the original listing, and have a person review eligibility and contact preferences before using any record for outreach.

The handoff

A structured business shortlist with original listing references, collection dates, and review status.

Keep in mind

Listings can be outdated, duplicated, or contain information about an individual owner. Follow source terms, limit collection to relevant business fields, preserve references and dates, verify details independently, and do not infer permission to contact from public visibility.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Review source access and reuse rules

Use only permitted collection methods and document applicable limits.

Choose minimum necessary business fields

Avoid personal contact details unless clearly needed and appropriately permitted.
