Building a chatbot that would search or even crawl through listings on Yelp, TripAdvisor and Google Maps would probably allow us to build the database faster - and there are other chatbots out there leveraging existing databases.

While Google and others are competing on speed and quantity, our key value propositions is to provide users with high quality and more personalised results that they normally would spend hours researching online.
