Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between this business database and LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

A: LinkedIn focuses on people and their job titles. This database focuses on businesses and their operations.

LinkedIn is best for: Finding individual decision-makers, tracking job changes, B2B hiring.

This database is best for: Finding all restaurants in a city, identifying businesses without websites, targeting by technology stack, accessing customer reviews.

They complement each other. Use LinkedIn for people. Use this database for businesses.

Q: How often is the data updated?

A: Monthly refresh cycle minimum. Most data (ratings, review counts, business hours) updates in real-time as Google Maps data changes. Contact information (emails, phone numbers) refreshes monthly. New businesses appear within 24-48 hours of being listed on Google Maps.

Q: Can I use this data for cold email campaigns?

A: Yes. The database includes GDPR/CCPA compliant email addresses. Integrate directly with Lemlist, Instantly, Hunter, or any email platform. Email validation ensures 95%+ deliverability.

Compliance note: You're responsible for following CAN-SPAM (USA), GDPR (EU), CASL (Canada), and local anti-spam laws. The data is legal and public—how you use it must follow email regulations.

Q: Is this data legally obtained?

A: Yes. All data comes from Google Maps public listings. No ToS violations. No private data. No hacking. Just publicly available business information that Google Maps displays to anyone.

Businesses can remove their listings anytime. They can claim and verify their information. We respect all opt-out requests.

Q: How does technology detection work?

A: When you export a business record, we include a list of technologies detected on their website. This includes:

• Website builders: WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow
• Analytics: Google Analytics, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Amplitude
• Email/CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Mailchimp
• Payment: Stripe, PayPal, Square, Adyen
• Hosting: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Cloudflare

This helps you target businesses using competitor tools or identify those missing key technology.

Q: Can I search by employee size or revenue?

A: Directly? No. But you can use proxies:

• Review count = rough indicator of business size (more reviews often = more customers = larger business)
• Multiple locations = larger organization
• Technology stack = investment level (enterprise tools suggest larger budgets)
• Claimed status = more established businesses tend to claim their listings

For precise employee/revenue data, you'd need additional data sources like D&B or Crunchbase.

A: 200 free credits per month. One credit = one business exported. That's enough to:

• Test the platform
• Run small targeted searches
• Evaluate data quality
• Build 1-2 small lists

After 200 credits, upgrade to a paid plan or wait for next month's refresh.

Q: Do I need technical skills to use this?

A: No. The search interface is designed for non-technical users:
