Apologies if this is not the right place to ask this. I’m tasked with acquiring the addresses for every grocery store in a county. I was told that scraping the data from Google was the best way. I would have used the NAICS code and searched on food stores in a proprietary business data set we have. It’s been a huge disagreement. My understanding is that Google only has locations that pay for ads which would not be a full list of stores (smaller stores would not be included). Anyone have thoughts about this? NAICS codes are messy as hell but they are at least comprehensive.
