Every digital footprint of every brick-and-mortar business, resolved into one record and checked source by source.
See how it worksThe database is designed for local businesses and combines public sources such as business websites, maps, review pages, social pages, government records, and standard business classifications. These sources have different strengths: recent reviews may show that a business is active, while an ownership filing may be useful but older.
Expect occasional differences in business names, addresses, or phone numbers across sources. Public contact details can also become outdated when a business moves, closes, or changes ownership. Publicly listed business emails are used for B2B outreach.
Treat calculated or AI-derived fields as estimates. For example, an estimated property size may be less reliable for an unusual building and should not become a hard filter without review. A missing social profile also means the platform did not find one; it does not establish that no account exists.
A general inbox can be useful contact data for an owner-run, single-location business because the owner or another decision-maker may monitor it. For a large chain, confirm that the contact can influence the decision.
What to do
- Build a focused list for one business type and local market.
- Inspect the map and location filters, then review a sample for category, location, operating status, and obvious mismatches.
- Separate contact problems, such as bounced emails or wrong numbers, from targeting problems, such as a working contact for the wrong business.
- Start broad enough to learn from actual responses, then refine the filters before expanding the campaign.
Related questions
Does a checked email or phone number always work?
No. A contact can change after it was checked, especially when a business moves, closes, or changes ownership.
Is a general business inbox useful?
Yes, especially for an owner-run local business. A general inbox at a large chain is less likely to reach the person who controls the decision.
What does a blank social field mean?
It means a profile was not found in the available data. Do not assume the business has no social account.
