# Find Local Businesses

[Search Companies](https://www.landbase.com/docs/overview/capabilities/search-companies.md) and [Search Contacts](https://www.landbase.com/docs/overview/capabilities/search-contacts.md) query Landbase's database of corporate entities with LinkedIn profiles. Find Local Businesses queries Google Maps — a completely different universe of brick-and-mortar locations, branches, and local service providers.

"HVAC contractors near Austin TX," "coffee shops in SoMa San Francisco," "dental clinics in Miami" — these are businesses that don't have LinkedIn profiles but do have Google Maps listings with websites, phone numbers, ratings, and reviews.

## How it works

Provide a search query combining business type and location (e.g., "HVAC contractors near Austin TX"). Optionally specify precise coordinates, zoom level, and result limits.

## What it returns

Each result includes:

* **Business name and website**
* **Full address and phone number**
* **Business types and description**
* **Rating and review count**
* **Price level** (when available)
* **Landbase company ID** (when the business matches a company in Landbase's dataset)

That last point is important: each result is automatically matched against Landbase's company database. If the local business has a website that matches a company in the dataset, you get the Landbase company ID attached — bridging the gap between Maps data and structured GTM data.

## When to use it

Useful for SMB-focused GTM teams, location-based prospecting, and anyone targeting businesses that live on Google Maps rather than LinkedIn. Pair with [Qualify Leads](https://www.landbase.com/docs/overview/capabilities/qualify-leads.md) to evaluate results against custom criteria (e.g., "does this business have a website?", "is this a franchise or independent?").

## Result limits

Default 20 results, maximum 500 per query.
