Sample Data
Before you buy anything, GeoData lets you download a free sample dataset so you can evaluate the data quality firsthand. The sample includes 500 real business records drawn from all 50 states, with the same fields and enrichment quality as our full dataset.
What's Included
The free sample contains 500 verified business records spanning all major categories (Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars) across every U.S. state. Each record includes the full set of data fields:
- Business name, brand, and category
- Full address with city, state, and zip code
- Geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude)
- County, census tract, and market/DMA identifiers
- Extracted email addresses, phone numbers, Instagram handles, and Facebook pages
- Website URLs
- Location count, operating status, and extraction timestamps
This is the same data format and quality you'll receive when you purchase full state datasets -- just a smaller slice to help you validate the fit for your use case.

From Sample to Purchase
If the sample data meets your needs, you can go directly to the Data Shop to purchase full state datasets. Your free account is already set up -- just add states to your cart and check out.
The sample data is refreshed periodically to reflect our latest enrichment cycle. The records you see in the sample are real, current business listings -- not synthetic or outdated placeholder data.
