Searches Google's Business Profile catalog for existing listings.

Specify either a free-text query or a title and address. Each result is a real catalog entry, and carries a matchStatus saying whether it can be claimed.

This doesn't need a connected Google account, so you can call it before the site owner connects one, for example to check whether a business already has a listing.

Read matchStatus carefully, because it's about the catalog rather than about the site owner:

  • CLAIMABLE: no Google account has claimed this listing.
  • OWNED_ELSEWHERE: some Google account has claimed it. That account may well be the site owner's own, so don't present this as someone else's listing. Confirm ownership by connecting their account and calling List Unimported Locations.

For lighter-weight suggestions while someone types, call Suggest Establishments, which returns autocomplete hints rather than catalog entries.
