- Data from AllThePlaces.
Businesses that add or claim their own listing provide those details themselves. They are not part of the Overture data.
How we use it
- Anyone can see counts of businesses by category and distance. Names are not shown publicly.
- A business owner who claims their listing sees the names of the businesses that fit theirs.
- A listing is never shown as a member until its owner joins.
- We don’t publish a directory, and listings are not indexed by search engines.
