Amazing news! Would be great to show the type of office as mentioned already - HQ, Satellite Offices, Franchises, Manufacturing/Plant, Etc. Other interesting meta (if possible) would be # of employees assigned, and by role/level would be helpful and could lead to other KPIs like occupancy trends over time.

Aegean blue Jaguar: These are great ideas!
Your comment on # of employees is also right in line with some of the things we've been testing. An example of a related metadata field that we've been experimenting with is a "count of employees in this metro region" subfield for each office location/metro, as specific office occupancy can be a bit trickier (e.g., how we might determine which of the 6 local JP Morgan offices an NYC JPM employee works from).
Anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We'll update with more information once we're farther along!

Sam Rounds 100% right - we have a client looking for this exact information (and it is critical to their workflow). What is the ballpark ETA on this enhancement?

We've kicked off work on a new "locations" field that is an object containing all observed office locations.
In its initial implementation this will use locations sourced from social media profiles. Over time, we plan to add additional sources (e.g., locations from job postings, the HQ from SEC filings, locations from company websites, etc.)
We also are scoping what additional metadata we can add around these locations - feel free to share any that would be useful to you!

Would be good to also have a location count
