Find local businesses on a map

Search for businesses near a place, pick a radius and a business type, and import them into a new table.

Written by Umer Ishaq

You can find businesses near a place and bring them into a new table.

How do I open it?

  1. Go to Home.

  2. Click Find leads, then Local Businesses.

The Find leads card on Home with its menu open below it, listing Find people, Find companies, Google Search and Local Businesses. Local Businesses is outlined in red.

A window called Find local businesses opens. It says "Search for businesses near a specific location with customizable radius."

The Find local businesses window as it opens. On the left is a map with a Location box, plus and minus zoom buttons and a Radius slider reading 1 km. On the right are Search Type with Business Type selected, a Select business type menu, Max. number of results set to 100, two ticked Add Enrichments boxes (Scrape website content and Extract email address from the website content), Estimated Cost, and the buttons Create Table and Create & Run 10 rows.

What do I set?

  • Location: type a place in the box on the map. The hint reads "Location (e.g. 'San Francisco')". Use the + and - buttons to zoom.

  • Radius: drag the slider under the map. It shows the distance, for example "Radius: 1 km / 0.62 miles". A circle on the map shows the area.

  • Search Type: choose Business Type or Text Search. With Business Type, open the Business Type menu ("Select business type") and pick one.

  • Max. number of results (10-700): the box shows 100 when the window opens.

The right side of the Find local businesses window with Search Type set to Business Type and the Select business type menu open. The open menu has a Search business types box and a scrolling list that starts Accounting, Airport, American Restaurant, Amusement Center and Amusement Park. The open menu is outlined in red.

Which enrichments can I add?

Under Add Enrichments, both of these are ticked when the window opens:

  • Scrape website content

  • Extract email address from the website content

Untick any you do not want.

What does it cost?

The bottom of the window shows Estimated Cost. The buttons are Create Table and Create & Run 10 rows.

Estimated Cost reads $0.0026 at 20 and 100 results, $0.0052 at 200 results and $0.02 at 700 results. It is not a price per result, and the line has no unit text such as "per result" or "total".

Good to know

  • Read the estimate before you click a button that runs rows.

  • After the table opens, check Auto-run in the toolbar before you add paid columns.
