Data mining and web scraping for Marietta businesses
The Marietta Square hosts markets on two days a week and an annual Veterans Day Parade. We collect each stream of sales and orders into one table, then add public data about comparable businesses when your question needs it.
Mining Marietta's Saturday and Sunday market sales
The Square's farmers market runs Saturday mornings year-round, with a break around Christmas, and Sunday afternoons from April to late fall. A vendor here may bring a different basket each day.
We gather register, card and message records, tag the day, and show which slot earns more.
Some vendors sell the same product at both slots, sometimes at different prices. The table keeps price per item per day, so you can see what a discount costs you and what it buys.
A year of these rows also shows which weeks the market slows, such as the break around Christmas, and what your online orders do in the gap.
Scraping competitor listings near the Square
Shops, salons and restaurants around the Square compete for the same weekend visitors. A small script reads public pages for price, rating and review count.
We keep to public pages and each site's terms.
The Square draws a mix of residents and visitors. Public review counts show how visible each competitor is among the second group, and you can compare your count against theirs.
Practices near the hospital and university
Medical, chiropractic and wellness practices near the hospital, Kennesaw State's campus and Life University keep intake forms, booking tools and inboxes.
We combine them so a practice can see which channel produces new patients or members, without exporting anything sensitive.
Sensitive health details never need to enter the table. We work with counts and sources, such as a form or a referral, and leave out anything you would not paste into an email.
Parade days and holiday weeks
The city holds an annual Veterans Day parade and ceremony on the Square. Dated rows show what such days did for you.
That feeds cleaning and analysis.
Ceremony days bring street closures and foot traffic, but parking and access vary, so a table helps you test whether being open longer paid back.
Questions from Marietta owners
My Sunday sales are small. Is it worth tracking?
A table shows that quickly, and tells you whether the Sunday slot repays your time. Even small slots can matter if they bring in customers who come back to the shop during the week.
Can you combine two shops' data?
Yes, with a column for each shop.
What do you need from me?
Exports or copies of your records and a list of the apps. We start there. We also tell you which of those we do not need, so you hand over less.
