Does an active record mean the business is open today?

No. A business can close, move, or change details between source updates.

Should I check every business manually?

No. Start with a broad, relevant list, remove obvious errors, and verify the prospects where accuracy matters most.

What should I do when details do not match?

Compare the business website, recent reviews, and current map listing. Allow for small differences in names, addresses, and phone formatting.

How often is Resquared's business data updated?

Q: How often is Resquared's business data updated?

Resquared does not publish a fixed database-wide update interval; its records combine public sources that refresh on different timelines. Treat recent activity as a signal and confirm important prospects before acting. Resquared combines information from business websites, social and review pages, maps, government records, standard business classifications, and satellite-derived data. Each source has different strengths and update timing. Reviews and current business listings can indicate that a business is active. Government ownership records may be useful but stale, and names, addresses, or phone numbers may differ slightly across sources. The database lists 14,786,458 active local businesses in the US and Canada. An active record does not guarantee that a business is open today, so use hours and recent reviews to prioritize your list and check high-value prospects before a call or visit.
