Local Market Scout
Use this skill to evaluate a local market in a practical, business-first way.
Workflow
- Start with
google_maps_search to find businesses in the target city or category.
- Keep only the most relevant places by rating, review count, and business fit.
- If the user needs deeper insight, call
google_maps_reviews for the shortlisted places.
- Summarize:
- strongest businesses
- common customer expectations
- obvious market gaps
Recommended Inputs
- location
- category
- ideal review threshold
- whether the user wants just discovery or review analysis too
Preferred Tool Pattern
Step 1. Discovery
Use google_maps_search.
Good arguments:
{
"query": ["bars kyiv ukraine"],
"limit": 20,
"language": "en",
"region": "ua",
"fields": ["name", "full_address", "rating", "reviews", "place_id"],
"execution_mode": "sync"
}
Step 2. Review Analysis
Use google_maps_reviews on the shortlisted place_id values.
{
"query": ["PLACE_ID_1", "PLACE_ID_2"],
"reviews_limit": 40,
"sort": "newest",
"language": "en",
"execution_mode": "sync"
}
Output Style
Return:
- top candidates
- one-paragraph market summary
- review-driven insights if review analysis was requested
Do not dump raw records unless the user explicitly asks for them.
