How should I go about efficiently compiling the data to map the locations of all the businesses within a given city or town? Are there any free online resources that offer searching businesses by geography and downloading their listings as tabular data which could be geocoded?
At a minimum I would just need the business name and address. The project would be in New York and the business data needs to be mapped in ArcMap.
