Most marketers using ChatGPT to build prospect lists don't know what they've actually got.

AI doesn't search databases. It generates text that looks like research. The contacts it returns are often partially or entirely fabricated.

Bad list. Bounces. Tanked sender score. Repeat.

The market didn't pause for Q1 to end.

Since January, chains have closed, relocated, rebranded, and expanded, often quietly, often fast. Trade areas have shifted. The competitive footprint looks different than it did 90 days ago.

Teams still working from Q1 data are navigating a map that no longer matches the territory.

CSG tracks 700,000+ retail and foodservice store locations, refreshed every 30 to 90 days, so your team always knows what moved, what opened, and what closed.

If you want to see what shifted in your segment since Q1, we'll walk you through it.
