search_agencies
Search Dutch marketing agencies by specialisms, target_industry (the client vertical the agency serves), city, B2B/B2C, company size, budget band and an optional radius (near_city = any Dutch city, or near_lat/near_lon, always combined with within_km in kilometres). specialisms filters strictly against the taxonomy; unrecognised terms are echoed in filters.specialisms.unmatched (all unknown → 0 results + hint). budget_band only excludes agencies with a known conflicting rate (see filters.budget_band.note). Returns up to 20 ranked agencies with slug (use in get_agency_profile), public trade name (name, plus legal_name when the statutory name differs), a 1-line rationale in Dutch, and totalMatched (hits before the limit). Ranking ignores what an agency pays (never pay-to-rank). Read the categories://list resource for valid values.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | No | Exact office city of the agency. For 'near a city' use near_city + within_km instead. | |
| limit | No | Max results (1-20, default 10). | |
| near_lat | No | Center latitude of a radius search (alternative to near_city). Requires near_lon + within_km. | |
| near_lon | No | Center longitude of a radius search (alternative to near_city). Requires near_lat + within_km. | |
| near_city | No | Center of a radius search: any Dutch city name. Requires within_km. | |
| within_km | No | Radius in kilometres around near_city or near_lat/near_lon (max 250). Ignored without an origin; near_* is ignored without within_km. | |
| budget_band | No | Buyer's budget in EUR. Only excludes agencies whose known rates conflict; most agencies have no known rate. | |
| specialisms | No | Up to 5 specialism slugs from categories://list (e.g. 'seo', 'branding'). Unknown terms are echoed back in filters.specialisms.unmatched. | |
| target_industry | No | Client vertical the agency serves (e.g. the buyer's own industry). Not the agency's own sector. | |
| company_size_band | No | Size of the buyer's company (employees); matches agencies that target that segment. | |
