Know what’s the latest, on the ground

Places is a structured, always‑on catalog of physical locations.
It answers a simple question: “What’s here?”

You get an up‑to‑date view of:

Retailers, restaurants, QSRs and convenience stores

Hotels, attractions, healthcare, financial and service locations

Key amenities around your own sites and candidate sites

All with consistent naming, categories and location details so your analysis isn’t held back by messy POI data.

What you get

Verified locations

A curated list of places in your markets with coordinates, names and core attributes.

Store‑level attributes

Where available: formats, opening status, basic amenities and other traits that matter for planning.

Standard categories and brands

Simple, consistent categories and brand labels so you can compare like‑for‑like across regions.

Neighborhood context

What sits around each of your locations: other retailers, competitors, complementary services.

Updates over time

New openings, closures and rebrands surfaced regularly, so your maps and models stay current.

What you can do with Places

Choose better sites

Compare potential locations using points of interest data - nearby anchors, competitors, and complementary brands, so every site decision is grounded in what's actually on the ground.

A clean, structured point of interest layer takes the guesswork out of where to open next.

Understand competitive pressure

See how competitors cluster around your stores, branches, or hotels using a reliable map of points of interest across your markets.

Geo targeting your expansion or defense strategy becomes a lot sharper when you know exactly what you're up against, location by location.

Support sales and expansion planning

See how competitors cluster around your stores, branches or hotels using a reliable map of points of interest across your markets.

Geo-targeting your expansion or defence strategy becomes much sharper when you know exactly what you're up against, location by location.

Give your teams a reliable base map

Stop debating whose POI file is “right.” Start from a single, trusted Places dataset gives analytics, ops, and real estate teams the same ground truth, so you spend less time reconciling data and more time acting on it.

Make other data more useful

Attach demand, mobility, people and economic signals to a clean set of locations instead of messy IDs.

When your base layer is reliable, every dataset you layer on top, including geotargeting and audience activation, works better.
