Filters

Within this tab, users can search for records that align with any Business Category in any Location. Each click refines the search, progressively narrowing the sample size of the results.

The resulting records will be displayed on the same page, providing a seamless and convenient user experience.

  1. Select Business Category
    There are two additional filter options for the categories that can focus or broaden the results.
    • Primary Category Match *Focused Search *Fewer Results:

      This search option narrows results to only include businesses listed under a specific primary category. For example, when searching for "Pizza Restaurant," only businesses with "Pizza Restaurant" as their primary category will be found. Use this option for precise and targeted search results.

    • Related Category Match *Broader Search *More Results:
      This search option expands results by including businesses in both the primary and related categories. For example, a business listed under "Pizza Restaurant" may also appear in searches for "Restaurant" or "Pizza Shop." Choose this option to find a wider range of related businesses.
  2. Business Name
    This is an optional filter and there are 3 additional options:
    • Exact Name Match:  Finds exact name matches only.
    • Partial Name Match: Finds names containing the keyword.
    • Does Not Match: Excludes names with the keyword.
  3. Enter Location/Region
    The location search is powered by Google making it easy and convenient to search all regions. If the website language is different than english, a checkbox option has been added to enable searching in the website's language, providing more comprehensive results based on the commonly used language versions in specific regions.:

    Important:

    To get results only from a specific location, enter the EXACT postal code or city name. Searching by country or state will return results from the entire area. Searching by county it's not supported, a pop-up will show indicating to enter a specific location.

    For locations in Taiwan, we encourage to search for zip codes or the entire country. Searching for cities will return a warning modal:

    "Specific Location Required: For Taiwan, please input a specific postal code location for the most accurate results. Cities, counties, and states are not supported at this time."

    To ensure satisfaction with results, test imports with 10 credits first.

Data Accuracy Disclosure

  • The business data importer tool strives to provide accurate data.
  • Due to the dynamic nature of business data, some details, such as logo images, may be unavailable.
  • Email addresses and logo images are not guaranteed, although the system may find and include them.
  • To conserve credits, the system skips duplicate records already imported with this tool, but not from other sources.
  • To ensure the data meets your needs, test with a smaller import of 10 records first before initiating larger imports.
