Marco Map
The platform behind our work.
We built Marco Map to do our own research, planning and consulting at national scale. It holds every broadband location the FCC counts, eight data releases, and the funding, income, health, infrastructure and terrain data needed to act on them. When you hire us, Marco does the heavy lifting.
Any geography
The place you care about, however it is drawn.
Every standard US geography has its own dashboard, and you can draw a custom region by hand, from a list of counties or from a boundary file.
- States
- Counties
- Cities & towns
- Congressional districts
- State senate districts
- State house districts
- School districts
- Councils of government & MPOs
- Tribal areas
- Custom regions you draw
- Served (100/20 Mbps+)
- Underserved
- Unserved (under 25/3)

What Marco does
One platform, the whole broadband picture.
Most broadband questions need more than a coverage map. Marco puts the answers side by side.
Coverage at every location
The FCC's Broadband Data Collection for every home and business, shown on H3 hexagons or 2020 census blocks at the flip of a switch.
Change over time
Eight semiannual FCC releases, June 2022 to December 2025. See where service arrived, where it was lost, and which providers moved.
Funding intelligence
Where CAF II, RDOF, ReConnect, Community Connect, Capital Projects Fund and E-Rate dollars have gone, set against the gaps that remain.
Affordability
Researched, cited retail prices for the plans actually available at each location, measured against local household income.
Feasibility & physics
Fiber reach, fixed-wireless line of sight, viewsheds and satellite sky views, modelled from terrain, canopy and tower data.
Community context
Census income and age, CDC health measures, social vulnerability, FEMA hazard risk, healthcare facilities and community anchor institutions.
AI-assisted analysis
Ask a question in plain English and get an answer grounded in the data for that place, or describe a map and have Marco build the layer.
Publish & share
Publish a live dashboard, a story map or an impact report to a public link, or download the whole analysis to run offline.
Developer API
A documented REST API with an OpenAPI specification and a TypeScript SDK, for partners who want Marco's data inside their own tools.
Marco on your behalf
You don't need to learn a platform. You need answers.
Most clients never log in. We run the analysis, check it against what we know on the ground, and hand you finished work. Your team can open it, share it and build on it.
A live dashboard for your area
Published at a link your residents, partners and funders can open without an account, with maps, charts, provider tables and an AI assistant that answers questions about your area only.

- Cable
- Fixed wireless
