The Market Finder skill discovers all businesses of a given type in any geography using Nimble Web Search Agents. It has two modes: Discovery finds businesses from scratch, and Audit compares an existing list against fresh discovery to find gaps. Powered by the Nimble CLI and built on the open-source Agent Skills standard for cross-platform agent compatibility.

How It Works

1

Parse request and detect mode

Determines whether to run Discovery (find businesses from scratch) or Audit (compare against an existing list from CSV, Google Sheet, or pasted data).
2

Select vertical preset

Auto-detects the business vertical and loads optimized search strategies. Presets available for Healthcare, SaaS, Restaurants, Legal/Financial, Auto/Home Services, and a general fallback.
3

Scope the geography

For large areas (states, regions, nationwide), tiles the geography into metro areas for thorough coverage. Skipped for SaaS/non-geographic verticals.
4

Discover businesses

Runs parallel searches across Google Maps, Yelp, BBB, and vertical-specific directories using Nimble Web Search Agents. Falls back to web search when no agents are available.
5

Deduplicate and score

Three-tier deduplication (place ID, domain, fuzzy name + city match). Each business receives a strength score based on source count and review volume.
6

Deliver results

Outputs a ranked business list with source links. In Audit mode, categorizes entries as matched, discovered-only, or reference-only.

Output

Discovery Mode

  • Summary — total businesses found, geographic coverage, source breakdown
  • Ranked Business List — name, address, phone, website, rating, review count, strength score, source links
  • Strength Scores — High (3+ sources or 2+ with 50+ reviews), Medium (2 sources or 1 with 10+ reviews), Low (1 source only)

Audit Mode

  • Matched — businesses in both the existing list and fresh discovery
  • Discovered Only — businesses found by Nimble but missing from the existing list
  • Reference Only — businesses in the existing list but not found in discovery
  • Gap Analysis — summary of coverage gaps
