USA & Canada Store-Locator Data Extraction into a Spreadsheet

Client Overview

The client needed a complete, structured dataset of business locations listed on a Maps-based store locator, covering the entire United States and Canada. For each location they required six text fields — Business Name, Address, Email, Phone, Website, and Business Description — organised into a spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets), with each field in its own cell.

The core requirement was completeness and cleanliness: every location across both countries captured once, with consistent, ready-to-use fields — not a partial or duplicate-ridden export.

The Challenge

• Full two-country coverage. Map locators typically return only the nearest results to a searched location, so capturing every USA and Canada entry required a systematic strategy rather than a handful of searches.
• Map-based, search-driven interface. Locations surface only in response to location queries on the map, demanding a geographic traversal that leaves no region unsearched.
• Field completeness varies. Not every location lists an email, website, or description — inconsistent availability had to be handled cleanly without breaking the schema.
• Duplicate results. Overlapping search radii return the same location multiple times, so reliable deduplication was essential for a true one-row-per-location dataset.
• Clean, cell-ready fields. Each field had to sit in its own cell, correctly separated and free of stray markup, ready for immediate use.
• Email capture. Emails, where present, had to be captured accurately for the client's downstream use.

Results & Business Impact

• Complete two-country dataset. Every USA and Canada location captured once — a full, structured view the client did not have before.
• Immediately usable. One row per location with clean, separated fields dropped straight into the client's workflow — no reformatting.
• Contact-ready. Name, address, phone, email, and website in one place supported outreach, mapping, and analysis.
• No duplicates, no gaps. Grid traversal plus deduplication delivered coverage without inflated or repeated records.
• Fast turnaround. Automated extraction replaced manual, location-by-location collection across two countries.
