Publication number: 20240029086Abstract: In general, embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer readable media for identifying a new business based on programmatically analyzing content received from online sources and, as a result, discovering one or more references to the business. In embodiments, the system stores historical data representing previously identified new businesses and then uses attributes of those businesses in search queries to receive related content. Additionally or alternatively, the system stores data representing online sources that historically provided content containing references to new businesses and then continues to access those sources for additional content. In embodiments, the system performs content analysis on structured and/or unstructured content.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Shawn Ryan Jeffery, Nick Pendar, Richard Clark Barber
