# Locus - Location Intelligence for Site Selection and Pulse

> Locus helps property, franchise, retail and local-operator teams make better location decisions without the usual GIS complexity. It connects catchment, demographics, competitors, foot traffic context, local demand signals and AI interpretation in one workflow.

## What Locus does

Locus supports two connected jobs:

- Location decisions: validate candidate sites, compare catchments and produce decision-ready property or site-analysis evidence.
- Pulse neighbourhood performance: monitor competitors, reviews, services, prices, offers and market movement after a location is operating.

The product is web-based and uses Mapbox, Google Places, BestTime.app, ONS Census, US Census ACS, WorldPop, Land Registry, OpenStreetMap Overpass, Walk Score, OpenAI, Gemini, Apify and DataForSEO where available.
