Foursquare.What AI reads there.

A data aggregator that AI assistants may draw on. What is documented, who it matters for, and how to fix your listing. Cost: Claiming a listing has no published fee on Foursquare's official pages.

The short answer

Updated

Foursquare runs a places database that other apps license, and business owners can claim their listing. Foursquare says its places data powers apps including OpenAI and Apple Maps, and that it partners with ChatGPT search. OpenAI hasn't confirmed that on its own pages. Foursquare asks for a complete street address, so it matters most for storefront businesses like clinics and auto shops.

Each row links to the maker's or the platform's own words. Where nothing is published, we say so.

Questions people ask.Short answers.

How long do changes take to show up?

Can a service-area business be listed?

Foursquare asks partners' listings to have a complete street address, so it suits businesses with a public location best.
