Local Business Finder

What it does

Local Business Finder takes a kind of business (cafe, dentist, plumber, car repair and about fifty more) and a town, and lists the shops, offices and services that OpenStreetMap volunteers have mapped there: name, website, phone, opening hours as mapped, address and a map link. Up to 100 results, businesses only: no people, no e-mail addresses. Data is OpenStreetMap's, under the ODbL licence, credited on every answer. Volunteer-mapped data is incomplete and sometimes out of date: 'none found' means nothing is mapped, and 'service down' means no answer, never a guess. Every answer is dated and signed with our key, so you can keep it as a record of what the map said and when. It also offers the next job (check these sites) through the Hub, with a hand-off receipt. We keep no copy of your search. No model.

Who it is for

Agents and people who need a list of local businesses for a job (a supplier search, a market check, a site audit), without signing up for a lead-search service.

Price

Free, no sign-up: 50 searches a day per address, up to 100 results each. Paid calls are not offered.

Limits

One kind and one town per search; countries, states and regions are refused. About fifty business kinds from our own list (the error lists them). Data comes from the shared public OpenStreetMap services: answers are kept a few hours, and when those are busy the status is service-down. A search stops at 250 mapped places, so a big town may need a smaller district.

How to get one

Ask your own agent: it sends a kind of business and a town and gets back the mapped businesses, the next jobs it can hand to the Hub, and a signed note. Keep the note: it shows what the map said that day.
