- What counts
- Local service businesses in the trades KASIF serves (confidence >= 0.5, not tagged as a brand or chain in Overture's data, not excluded by KASIF's rules), inside each city's official boundary. 'No website' = the record lists no website of its own: no web address at all, or only social and messaging pages (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Telegram, Linktree, Google+), directory, listing and review pages (Justdial, Sulekha, IndiaMART, Yelp, Yell, Yellow Pages, Superpages, Tripadvisor, Checkatrade, Bark, Houzz, Thumbtack, Angi and HomeAdvisor, Nextdoor, Rated People, MyBuilder, TrustATrader, FreeIndex, Hotfrog, Cylex, MapQuest, Chamber of Commerce, Bizapedia, Hub.biz, Dun & Bradstreet, Cortera, Locality, PlaceStars, Big Red Directory, StreetDirectory, The Green Book, Groupon, Carousell, Urban Company, WeddingOkay, BookEventz), booking pages (Treatwell, Fresha, Booksy, Setmore, Vagaro, StyleSeat, GlossGenius, Acuity Scheduling, Square Appointments and Square checkout, Calendly, Google Calendar, Mindbody, Lifebooker, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Airbnb), Google Maps, Google Search or Google Business Profile links, Google's retired business.site and negocio.site pages, or other Google addresses that are not a website of the business (Google Docs, Drive or Forms, Google Play, Gmail or Google Help pages, or a bare google.com, sites.google.com or blogspot.com address; a Google Sites site does count).
- The numbers
- 230,324 local businesses in the trades we serve, inside the official boundaries of 7 cities; 60,723 list no website of their own, as defined above. Counts use every business. To keep this page light, a city with more than 9,000 shows a fixed random sample of 9,000 lights; Kochi shows all 2,671.
- Where each city ends
- Each city is counted inside its official boundary, so no neighbouring city or country is included. Dubai: the emirate of Dubai, Hatta included; Mumbai: Greater Mumbai (the Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban districts); Bengaluru: Bengaluru's city corporation area (the former BBMP); Kochi: the Kochi Municipal Corporation; Singapore: the whole of Singapore; New York: New York City's five boroughs; London: Greater London (the 32 boroughs and the City of London). Boundaries: Overture Maps divisions, release 2026-09-23.1 (derived from OpenStreetMap); for Kochi, OpenStreetMap itself.
- Only these cities
- We have mapped 7 cities. The dark everywhere else on the globe is not a count of anything.
- Privacy
- Each light is moved at random inside a cell of about 90 m by 90 m, so it shows the neighbourhood, never the doorway. The map files hold a position and one yes or no: no names, contacts or ids.
- Stars
- Client stars are symbols of where those clients work, not addresses. The neighbourhood that lights up is a simulation.
