Site selection

Choosing where to open a store, branch, clinic or facility.

Site selection compares candidate locations on what drives success: the people around (how many, what age), the competition, the complementary businesses that bring footfall, access and visibility, and cost.

A practical approach in xMap Flows: put the candidate sites in a table, count competitors and anchors around each with Nearby places, add residents with Demographics, and let xMap LLM score each site with a reason. See the guide Score store sites.
