Frequently asked questions

Mapquery is an AI-powered location research tool. Search any area, explore businesses on a map, and ask plain-English questions to get real insights about any location, like what customers love, how a spot compares to others nearby, or whether an area is worth pursuing. It gives you the kind of research that used to take hours, in seconds.

Not at all. Search for a business type like "coffee shops". Mapquery places matching locations on a map. Click any pin and ask questions about that specific spot, like "what are the most popular menu items?" or "what do customers complain about most?" No technical setup needed.

Anything you'd want to know about a specific location. What are people saying about this spot? Who are the nearby competitors? Is this address worth a closer look? Ask it in plain English and get a clear answer.

Manual searches give you a narrow, ad-heavy picture shaped by what search engines want to promote, not what you need to know. Results vanish the moment you close the tab. Mapquery pulls from a wider range of sources focused on real business intelligence, gives you a more complete view of any location, and saves every result with its sources so your research builds over time.

Mapquery pulls from live public sources including business listings, review platforms, and local directories. Each query runs through an AI research layer that gathers and summarizes information from multiple sources in real time.
