Applied Data Services & Use Cases
Applied Data Services & Use Cases explains how classification-first business data supports targeting, analytics, compliance, and operational workflows. Each section provides standards-aligned guidance first, followed by implementation paths for delivery, enrichment, and access at scale — including enterprise mapping, licensing, and bulk overlay services.
- This center explains how to use SIC/NAICS classification for real workflows (targeting, analytics, compliance, and operations).
- We describe the use case first, then list implementation paths (guided, self-serve, and enterprise options).
- New: enterprise pages for nationwide mapping, dataset licensing, density rollups, and bulk overlays.
- Start with: Guided List Request, Build Your List, or Enterprise Mapping.
SICCODE.com maintains free classification reference data. This page shows how that reference supports real-world workflows — from go-to-market targeting to enterprise mapping and governance-ready analytics — and provides implementation paths when you need delivery, enrichment, or licensed access at scale.
Business Lists: Choose Your Starting Point
If your goal is a classification-aligned business list, start with the path that matches your comfort level. Both options use SIC/NAICS selection logic to reduce off-industry results.
Enterprise: Mapping, Licensing & Nationwide Rollups
If your goal is nationwide location intelligence (mapping layers, rollups, or integration into a platform), start with enterprise mapping, then choose the matching delivery model: licensing, density rollups, or bulk overlays to your internal IDs.
Use Cases & Implementation Paths
Go-to-Market & Targeting Service Level: Primary
Use SIC/NAICS targeting to define who belongs in a segment, reduce off-industry waste, and keep outreach aligned to business activity.
- Define the target using standard or extended SIC/NAICS selection logic for higher-resolution segments
- Scope by geography and required attributes to match operational requirements
- Apply repeatable segmentation rules across campaigns and reporting
Executive & Email Outreach Service Level: Applied
Pair industry classification with contact strategy: segment by industry first, then apply role and outreach intent to improve relevance.
- Industry-first filtering improves message relevance and reduces waste
- Role and function targeting supports account-based and territory workflows
- Use classification controls to stabilize segments across campaigns
Enterprise Mapping & Licensing Service Level: Enterprise
For large database sales and nationwide deployments, use these pages to scope the correct enterprise deliverable: mapping layers, licensing, geographic density rollups, or bulk overlays to your internal IDs.
- Deploy a consistent SIC/NAICS classification layer across mapping and analytics systems
- Choose licensing, rollups, or join-ready overlays based on your data architecture
- Support governance and repeatability with documentation and versioning
Enterprise Data Access Service Level: Coverage
When your use case requires broad coverage or recurring access, select the appropriate database scope and geography to support analytics and operations.
- Choose U.S. vs Canada coverage based on geography and reporting context
- Use classification fields as stable segmentation keys for analytics and MDM
- Support repeatable reporting, risk, and operational workflows
Data Enrichment & Appends Service Level: Operations
Use appends when you already have a file and need to standardize classification fields, improve segmentation quality, or refresh classification values for operational use.
- Append SIC or NAICS codes to existing records to improve comparability
- Reduce ambiguity and stabilize segmentation over time
- Document enrichment logic for governance and repeatable outcomes
Pricing & Scoping Service Level: Reference
Use pricing and process references to select the appropriate implementation path for list builds, database access, enterprise licensing, or enrichment projects.
- Understand pricing components and common scoping variables
- Choose list builds vs database access vs append vs enterprise deliverables
- Align scope to internal cadence and operational requirements
How It Works Service Level: Workflow
If you are not sure which path fits, start with a guided request. For enterprise mapping and licensing, start with the mapping overview page.
- Define scope using industry (SIC/NAICS), geography, and selection criteria
- Confirm coverage model and delivery expectations for your workflow
- Use pricing references to align scope and implementation choices
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Applied Data Services & Use Cases center?
It is a knowledge-first guide to using classification-first business data for targeting, analytics, compliance, and operational workflows. Each section explains workflow requirements first, then lists implementation paths. - Where should I start if I need nationwide mapping and location intelligence?
Start with Enterprise Industry Data & Mapping, then choose the deliverable that fits your deployment: Dataset Licensing, Density Rollups, or Bulk Overlay. - Where should I start if I need a targeted list?
Start with Business List USA (Guided Form) if you want a simple, guided request. If you prefer interactive code selection and preview counts, use Build Your List (Advanced Builder). - Where should I start if I need SIC/NAICS appended to my file?
Start with SIC code append or NAICS code append, then review the Data append FAQ for workflow and scoping details. - Is this page a product catalog?
No. This page is organized by use case. Implementation paths are included only as options for teams that need delivery, enrichment, or coverage for a defined workflow. - Where does the trust and governance standard live?
See the Authority & Trust Hub for governance, methodology, review standards, and change control.
