The expansion decisions SmartMarket answers
Every new location is a serious bet, and most are still settled by gut feel, costly site visits and slow manual surveys. SmartMarket reframes each one as a question with a data-science answer, and answers four of them off a single scored map of your market.

Four bets, one verifiable map
Where the next store should go, which markets are still underserved, what a candidate site will earn, where a competitor is strong or weak. These are different questions, but they all draw on the same thing: a true picture of demand, affluence, footfall and competition across a market, at the resolution of a city block.
SmartMarket replaces guesswork with verifiable data science. It breaks a city into 150m by 150m grids, enriches and scores each one, and lets every expansion decision read off the same map. That is why these four use cases are not separate tools, they are four questions answered from one scored grid.
The four decisions
Pick the question you are facing
- Site selection Where should the next location go, and why? Rank candidate sites on a composite opportunity score built from footfall, affluence, demographics, competitors and adjacency, with the reasons behind each rank made explicit.
- White space Where is the underserved market no one has entered? Surface the grids where demand is real but coverage is thin, so you can enter underserved markets before competitors map them.
- Revenue prediction What will this site earn before you sign the lease? A machine-learning model trained on your sales history and location attributes returns a revenue range per candidate site, so the lease is signed against a forecast, not a hunch.
- Competitor analysis Where is competition strong, weak, or worth avoiding? Read the competitive landscape grid by grid to decide where to defend, where to grow, and where to avoid.
One scored grid
Why all four read the same map
Every answer starts from the same source: the city resolved into 150m by 150m grids, each enriched with the datasets behind a market and scored with a weightage-based composite. Site selection ranks those grids, white space filters for demand without supply, revenue prediction layers your own sales history on top, and competitor analysis reads the same grid through a competitive lens. One map, four questions, no reconciling four different views of the same city.
Four decisions, one map.
Site selection, white space, revenue prediction and competitor analysis all read from the same scored grid. Answer one question, and the next is already on the same map.
Where they resolve
The CXO dashboard, not a fifth decision
The four decisions do not end in four reports. They resolve into one CXO dashboard: the surface where the whole expansion picture, ranked sites, white space, forecast revenue and the competitive map, comes together for the people who sign off on the bet. It is not a separate decision, it is where all four are read at once.
And there are two ways in. Analysts and data scientists get the full platform: raw granular datasets, custom expansion models, and BI integration. Executives get AI Reports: ask a question like a category in a city, and get presentation-ready, ranked answers with a Smart Score and explainable reasons, no GIS analyst required.
Why the answer is trustworthy
Live place data behind all four decisions
All four decisions read the same live point-of-interest quality signals through Google Places Insights, delivered in BigQuery across 250M+ places and refreshed monthly. Ratings, review counts and place status move with the market, so the competitive and footfall picture behind a score is what is on the ground now, not a snapshot filed when the dataset was bought.
