# About Local Pulse

A small data team measuring what local businesses do in public, so homeowners can see who is active before they call.

Data as of October 29, 2026 · [How we measure](https://localpulseindex.com/methodology/)

## Why Local Pulse exists

Most directories tell you who is “best”. We think the more useful question before you call someone is simpler: who is active right now, whose record is long and steady, and whose details still check out? Local Pulse shows that, week by week, with a date on every figure.

## What we believe

- **Activity is not quality.** We show momentum and let you judge.
- **Reviews are not sales.** We never infer revenue or customer numbers from review growth.
- **Dates matter.** A number without a date is a rumour.
- **Money stays out of the data.** See [how we make money](https://localpulseindex.com/how-we-make-money/).

## Where our data comes from

- Public review platforms, read through permitted access
- Our own regular checks of phone, address, hours and websites
- Public records: census figures, building permits, and state license and company records
