Scope of the data
This tells you who is already operating in a category and how to reach them. Footfall, rents, lease terms and demographics are not in the file and are not what it is for.
No. The workbook lists businesses — name, email, phone, website, rating and description. Property and demographic data are separate exercises.
Yes. Searching your category in the proposed city shows how many businesses already operate there, which is a firmer input than a candidate's description of the area.
Ratings come through as published, so treat them as a rough signal of standing rather than a verdict. They are most useful for spotting the obvious ends of the range.
Run the same category search in each city and buy both lists. The comparison is then a straightforward count and read across two workbooks.
