What people use it for

  • 01Decide when a list is stale enough to re-run.
  • 02Diff two runs to see which businesses gained reviews, changed hours or disappeared.
  • 03Resolve relative review ages against a real date.
  • 04Prove data age to a client or an auditor who asks.

What it will not tell you

Local business data ages continuously — hours, phone numbers and closures change weekly. A row is a snapshot, and this column is the honest label on it.

Questions about this field

How often should I re-run a list?
It depends on volatility. Hospitality and retail move fast enough to justify monthly refreshes; professional services drift far more slowly.
Is the timestamp per row or per export?
Per row. A long-running job that spans hours records when each row was actually collected.
