**Example:** "Find contact info for Blue Bottle Coffee in San Francisco" or "Get me the phone number and reviews for The Smith restaurant in NYC"

## Context

### What to Search For

From Google Maps:
- Business phone number
- Full address
- Website URL
- Business hours
- Rating and review count

From website scraping:
- Email addresses (look for contact pages, footer)
- Additional phone numbers
- Contact form URLs
- Social media links
- Owner/manager names if listed

From reviews:
- Common praise (what do customers love?)
- Common complaints (what frustrates customers?)
- Service quality indicators
- Product/food quality mentions

### Search Strategy

1. Search Google Maps for the business with location context
2. Extract phone, address, website, and basic info
3. Scrape the business website for additional contact details
4. Pull 20-40 reviews to analyze sentiment
5. Categorize feedback into pros and cons

### What Counts as a Valid Result

- Only report contact info actually found — never fabricate
- If no website exists, note this limitation
- Include direct quotes from reviews to support findings
- Note if review count is low (<10 reviews)
