What else should you know about MarketStudyBuddy?

Does it measure foot traffic?

No. There are no visit counts and no dwell times here. It measures who lives there, who works there, how far people can drive in a set time, and who already trades nearby.

Can two sites go into one document?

Yes. A comparison puts several addresses through the same study and produces a single deck and workbook that rank them side by side.

Can our analysts get the raw figures?

Yes. Every run exports a CSV, an Excel workbook with a sheet per section, and the trade-area geometry as map files.
