answer:
|
|
"SurfSense reads only public Google Maps listings, the business data any visitor can see. It collects no private data and cannot access anything behind a login. Review Google's terms and your own compliance needs, especially around personal data in reviews, before running at scale.",
|

},

{
|
|
question: "How many results can I get per search?",

|
answer:
|
|
"Up to 1,000 places per search query, and you can send up to 20 queries, URLs, or place IDs in a single call. Pair a query like 'dentist' with a location such as 'Austin, TX' to scope the search to one market.",
|
|

|
|
{
|
|
question: "Does it include reviews and contact details?",
|

answer:

"Yes. Every place includes its phone number and website when Google lists them, plus address and coordinates. Set max_reviews to attach review text and stars per place, or use the dedicated reviews verb when you need deep review history for one location.",

{

question: "How is this different from the official Places API?",

answer:

"The Places API is metered per call and returns only about five reviews per place. SurfSense returns up to 1,000 places per query with deeper reviews, no Cloud project to set up, and an MCP server so your agents can call it as a native tool.",
