FAQ
Before a large run
Are phone and website always present?
No. Output depends on what is publicly visible in each listing. Measure field coverage in your target category first.
Do I need a paid plan?
A small base run may fit within the Free plan's included $5 credit. Higher plans lower the unit rate but have a monthly fee.
Can I use the data for outreach?
A public business listing is not automatic permission for unsolicited marketing. Verify applicable law, source terms and a legitimate use.
