the gap moves between runsthe phone was missing here, but on a second city it was present on 57 of 58 rows and the attributes block was the one absent, so check for the field rather than assuming which one is gone
the breakdown is not called what you expectthe per-star counts sit under rating_summary, so a search for a field with star in its name finds nothing
the workaroundthe per-result actor does carry phone numbers, so buy those rows only for the leads you keep

Who is actually a leadshare of 26 businesses
the listten of twenty-six businesses have no website or sit below 4.5 stars
the best of thema 4.9-star business with no website and no phone on file, which is a real gap to sell into
what it costnothing: this is filtering rows you already bought
the chains are the real contaminanton a second city one national key-cutting brand held 17 of 75 unique pins and another held 8, each kiosk with its own id, rating and website; of the 29 rows that passed this screen, 17 were kiosks and only 12 were independent businesses
and de-duplicating misses themevery kiosk has a distinct id, so the only screen that works is a repeated title
unrated rows fall off silentlythree rows carried no rating, and an undefined value fails a rating-under-4.5 test rather than passing it, so businesses with no reviews at all quietly leave the prospect list
the screentwo of twenty results are cluster pins named after the category, not businesses
