Business/POI is closed or does not exist: Research shows that the business is closed or that no such business exists at the result address. For chain businesses, always check their store locator first!

Please note that if you check this box, you will still need to rate the relevance of the result as if it did exist. Use your best judgment to determine whether the result does not exist, or if the result components are incorrect.

x Checkpoint: When determining if the business is closed, please check to see

1.if the business exists in the immediate surrounding area (really small distances). If so we would not consider the business closed, but the address and/or pin to be incorrect.
2.We want to use all of the information provided in TryRating, even information not rated, such as URL and phone number, to research the result.

Doing some research where the pin land we can see a Coop shop (https://tinyurl.com/rudoc39 )

 

 

We search in the official locator that we find in the results: http://www.e-coop.it/web/guest/punti-vendita- dettaglio?id=40 that is no shop at the address returned. However, Pin, Name, part of the address (part of the street name), phone number, URL and pin all indicate that result is actually for Coop situated in Via XXIII Settembre 128 Rimini

Then we can confirm that this Business/POI isn’t closed but the address wrong.

Business/POI is closed/does not exist: No

Relevance: Bad /Acceptable

Address: Incorrect

There are a few brunches closer to the FVP then this result it will. Be demoted by distance.

Doing some research where the pin land. We can see that the bank existed (eleven years ago) but it is closed now.

We check the official website that is returned in the result: https://www.mps.it . We search for the brunch on Via Edmono de Amicis, and we see is non on that address. However, it is one located close to this street.

.

If we see distances in the map, the other brunch is away more than 100m.

.

We can feel tempted to rate this result as wrong address and pin, however we have enough evidence to prove that the brunch that we are returning as result is closed.

Then is better to rate Business/POI closed in this location.

Be aware that even if we didn’t have evidence that this bank had a brunch there before, the fact that it is not listed in the official website and it is no show in street imagery is enough to rate this result as closed.

It is possible to rate a business closed solely on the fact that it is not listed on the official store locator but only if we can establish with confidence that the business returned either used to be open for a while or it never existed at all.

It should be however evaluated case by case and in combination with other available evidence, especially street imagery

Business/POI is closed/does not exist: Yes

Relevance: Good-Acceptable

According to locator this branch is not so distant from fresh viewport compared to the number of real existing branches available, Good/Acceptable

Bank is not listed on official locator nor visible from imagery

Note:If there is a general lack of sources, assume that the POI/business could exist and rate Name, Address and Pin Accuracy as Can’t Verify. The Relevance should be rated as though existent and not demoted for potential non-existence.

A Business that doesn’t exist it will get a relevance of Excellent as the highest, since is not a real physical place to go.
