Name: Book of Lists
Brand: The Business Journals

The Book of Lists is a local company data and contact information directory that ranks the largest and most influential players in local economies. Full-time researchers compile the rankings from original and often exclusive data, gathering it through direct outreach with businesses in their markets and by analyzing public records. Researchers typically rank dozens of organizations within a given category on a weekly basis and target dozens of industries in each market.

Professional researchers gather and verify the information in each list under strict, time-proven methodologies, and obtain information held by private organizations through direct outreach in their markets. The buyer needs ranked local company data for market research, employer outreach and prospecting. The data is delivered as a printed annual book, a one-time CSV download or a year of unlimited data access, in a consistent format covering company name and location, company contacts, and bonus information such as revenue and employee count.
