Description

BananaPlace turns any local business into a structured page engineered for two surfaces at once: search rankings and the sources AI answers cite. 425,007 Korean businesses across all 223 municipalities, already structured with hours, menus, photos and reviews - plus a writer that turns one photo into a publish-ready post, scored live against SEO, AEO, AIO and GEO. Live, week one: Google indexing is still thin and we say so rather than hide it. Measured 2026-09-01.

Could you build this?

Partial The front-end directory and programmatic SEO generation are simple, but aggregating, verifying, and maintaining an accurate database of 425,000+ local businesses across South Korea requires heavy data sourcing infrastructure.

What it would actually take: A scalable pipeline requires ingestion from local government open data registries and crawling platforms (such as Naver Map or Kakao Local APIs), with automated deduplication, normalization, and geocoding. The application architecture involves a Next.js frontend with incremental static regeneration (ISR) backed by PostgreSQL/PostGIS and automated schema.org injection for LLM web crawlers. The primary challenge is acquiring, validating, and continuously updating comprehensive nationwide Korean business data.
