How this service works
Search Google's local business directory within a radius of a coordinate, filtered by category and/or a name query. Returns ranked businesses with name, category, star rating and review count, address, phone, website domain, place_id/CID and coordinates. Richer than a SERP local pack. No match → empty results.
Output
Returns a paginated list of matching business profiles, each including the business name, CID, place_id, address, latitude/longitude, phone number, website domain, Google rating, review count, primary category, and whether the listing is claimed. Also includes total count of matches and result rank.
Example use cases
Nearby restaurant discovery
“Search for Italian restaurants within 3km of 40.7580,-73.9855 and give me the top 5 results with their ratings, addresses, and phone numbers.”
Business profile lookup by name
“Look up the Google Business profile for 'Bello Coffee & Tea' in San Francisco — I need their rating, website, place ID, and exact coordinates.”
Category-based competitor research
“Find all yoga studios within 10km of 34.0522,-118.2437 — return up to 20 results with their ratings, review counts, and websites so I can compare them.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://places.openverbs.com/v1/business-searchWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured Google Business data (ratings, coordinates, categories, place_id) for local businesses searched by name or category within a geographic radius. Prefer this over generic web search when you need machine-readable business profiles with consistent fields. Ideal for building local business finders, competitor research tools, or enriching location-based datasets with authoritative Google Business metadata.
Side effects
- Missing both query and categories — at least one must be provided
- Invalid locationCoordinate format — must be 'lat,lng,radiusKm' with valid numeric ranges
- No results found for the given query/location combination — returns empty results array
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol — results in 402 Payment Required
- Query string too long (over 200 chars) or too many categories (over 10) — schema validation error
