Compatibility
Business compatibility
Score listings 1-10 against your stated size, lease, location, and must-have constraints. The AI cites the exact numbers it used so you can sanity-check the call.
AI property research for your business
Find the right space for your business — with AI doing the homework.
Tell us what your business does in three to five words. Add the listings you're considering. Square Scout's AI scores each one on compatibility, competition, and demographics — so you can shortlist spaces that actually fit.
Free during MVP — no credit card. Pay-per-research credits coming later.
Three layers of research per candidate listing.
Every section runs as a separate AI job, with live agent thoughts and a 1-10 fit score. Re-run any section independently as your shortlist changes.
Competitors
Nearby competitors & collaborators
Multi-layer Perplexity search for direct competitors, close substitutes, similar-category players, and complementary collaborators within ~1 mile of every candidate listing.
Demographic
Demographic fit
Live U.S. Census Bureau ACS demographics per ZIP — population, income, age, race, education — analyzed against your target customer. Cached for 4 months for fast re-runs.
How it works.
You stay in control. The AI just speeds up the boring parts.
