There are 3rd party data providers like Yext that can syndicate the data to different location services customers. Businesses can create and update in Yext and then data gets updated by the location services. If a location services company sources data from multiple independent locations providers such as Yext, Four Square, Yelp, web scraping it can get a profile that a place exists.
