What is location intelligence?
Location intelligence is the practice of turning location data - demographics, points of interest, competitors, real estate, access and risk - into business decisions. A location intelligence platform combines those layers for a place and analyzes them together. Bifyo applies location intelligence to one high-stakes question: will this business work at this address?
The data layers behind every analysis
Each layer is fetched for your address and radius when you run the analysis, and every figure keeps its source.
| Source | Layer | What it answers |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. Census Bureau | ACS demographics & Gazetteer | Who lives here: population, households, income, age, renters, commuting |
| Google Places | Competitors, anchors & reviews | Who already competes here, how they are rated, and what anchors draw traffic |
| Google Street View | Frontage & visibility | Whether the frontage is visible from the street |
| OpenStreetMap | Storefronts, transit & vacancy | Storefronts, transit and vacancy around the site |
| FEMA National Risk Index | Natural hazard risk | Exposure to floods, storms, earthquakes and other hazards |
| Live web research | Property & rent listings, local prices | Current rent and property listings and local prices |

Frequently asked questions
What is location intelligence?
Location intelligence is the practice of turning location data - demographics, points of interest, competitors, real estate, access and risk - into business decisions. A location intelligence platform gathers those layers for a place and analyzes them together, so the question "is this a good place for us?" gets a measured answer.
What is location intelligence software used for?
Most often for site selection (where to open or relocate), market opportunity analysis (where demand is under-served), territory and network planning, and real estate decisions. Bifyo focuses on the first two: scoring a specific address for a specific business type and finding under-served markets.
How is a location intelligence platform different from GIS?
GIS software is a general toolkit: you source the data and build the analysis yourself. A location intelligence platform like Bifyo ships the data layers and the scoring model for each business category, so you get an answer for an address without building maps or models.
What is market opportunity analysis?
Market opportunity analysis estimates how much demand for a product or service exists in an area and how much of it is not yet served. In Bifyo it is the Opportunity Score - demand, competition, growth, accessibility, business density and market fit - plus market sizing from total to obtainable market for the category inside your radius.
What data does Bifyo use?
U.S. Census Bureau ACS demographics, Google Places (competitors, anchors and reviews), Google Street View, OpenStreetMap, the FEMA National Risk Index and live web research of property and rent listings and local prices. Each figure in a report is labelled REAL with its source or as a Bifyo AI model estimate.
How much does location intelligence software cost?
Enterprise platforms are usually sold on annual contracts. Bifyo is priced per report with no subscription: $49 for a single report, or packs of 5 for $199, 20 for $690, 50 for $1,490. See location intelligence pricing.
