Abstract

A method and system for adding contact information to a user account in a database. A registered user of the database presents a query having search criteria. The search criteria identifies records that have contact information including an address located within a defined distance of a specified location, such as the user's current location. Instructions are transmitted to the client device for rendering a map of the specified location and a representation of the search results on a display of the user's device. If a record is not owned by or associated with the user, the contact information is obscured on the display. A widget is configured on the display of obscured records that enables the user to purchase the record. Upon selection of the widget, a purchase transaction is executed, and the identified record is added to the user account.
