Data Sources
The status data is derived from:
- Actual customer reviews about business locations that are publicly available
Methodology
Sourced from publicly available customer reviews of locations. This data is updated at least every months for each location. For simplicity, individual reviews are aggregated to provide an overview of a location. It's possible for reviews to be removed or edited after some time, so it's possible you may see the number of reviews decrease for a location at one point in time.
Data Fields

| firstReviewDate | The date of the earliest available review (from a sample of one hundred reviews). | string |
| lastReviewDate | The date of the latest available review. Because up to three months may elapse before we refresh the reviews, more reviews may be submitted after this date that aren't reflected in our data. So a lag may develop which is removed at least every three months. | string |
