Sample matching businesses
search_businessesReturn a sample of matching businesses with industry, location and data-quality signals. Contact details (name, company, email, phone, address) are never returned by this tool — it shows what exists and how reachable it is, not who to call.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | No | City name, e.g. "Chicago", or "London" with country GB. | |
| limit | No | How many rows to return, 1-25. Defaults to 10. | |
| state | No | US state, either full name ("Texas") or two-letter code ("TX"). US only. | |
| country | No | Country, as an ISO code ("US", "GB", "CA") or a name ("United Kingdom"). Omit to count every country. Coverage outside the US is much smaller. Countries with data: United States (US), United Kingdom (GB), Canada (CA), Australia (AU), United Arab Emirates (AE), India (IN), Germany (DE), Spain (ES), France (FR), Italy (IT), Singapore (SG), Ireland (IE), Netherlands (NL), Saudi Arabia (SA), Qatar (QA), Pakistan (PK), Mexico (MX), South Africa (ZA), Malaysia (MY), Israel (IL), Nigeria (NG). | |
| industry | No | Industry or business type in plain words. Everyday wording is resolved to the stored categories, and `matchedIndustry` in the response says which one. | |
| no_website | No | true = only businesses whose Google Maps listing shows no website of their own (read from the listing; a Facebook-only listing counts as none). For questions like 'plumbers in the UK without a website' or 'trucking companies in the UK with no website'. |
