How many businesses of a type a city has

Find out how many businesses of a given type operate in a city or district, where they are, and what their ratings and websites look like.

Who it’s for

Analysts, founders and business leads who size up a market before launching a product, entering a new city or updating their own directory.

The job

“I’m assessing a new niche in a city. I need a list of businesses that actually operate there — with categories, addresses, websites, ratings and opening hours — so I rely on data, not on a single map.”

One map never sees everything: some businesses or fields exist only on another one. Merging several maps by hand takes hours, and next time it has to be done again.

When you need it

  • Entering a new city or category.
  • Checking how complete your own directory is.
  • Preparing a market overview or a competitor map.

How to do it

  1. Set the city or district and the business types — the same for every map you use.
  2. CrawlRover collects the businesses into a table — from Apple Maps, 2GIS and other maps. Which maps are available is shown on the map data hub.
  3. Compare names, addresses, websites, categories and ratings — you can see what each map found.
  4. Save the settings to repeat the research the same way a month later.
  5. Export to CSV, Excel or Google Sheets.

What you get

A list of businesses of the given type in the city: how many there are, where they are, which maps know them and where the gaps are. You can hand the table to your team with a clear record of where the data came from.

Why CrawlRover

  • Several maps that complement each other.
  • Repeatable results — the same settings a month later give a comparable table.
  • Convenient export — the data is ready for filters and analysis.
  • The Data plan — for regular data work; see the pricing page for the current price.

Good to know

Start with a small district, check the quality of the rows and only then scale up. CrawlRover collects public business data; you decide how to use it — follow each service’s terms and the applicable law.
