Business cross-check

Cross-check a listing before relying on it.

Look up a named business on Google Maps. If you already have its Indian GSTIN, add a registration lookup and compare the returned names.

What you can inspect

  • Maps listing name and address
  • Available phone, rating and source URL
  • GST registration fields only with a supplied GSTIN
  • Name-match flags, confidence and warnings

Fields vary with what the source makes available. Missing values remain missing.

Try this prompt

Use Thirdwatch to cross-check the public Infosys business listing in Bengaluru. Estimate the name-only lookup cost first. Show the returned Maps name, address and original source URL. Explain that this does not verify GST registration; do not invent a GSTIN.

First call get_account_info to check your connection. Preview this request with estimate_cost, then run the selected data tool when you are ready. These inputs show an example request, not live results.

estimate_cost · preview input

{

}

verify_business · example tool input

Know the coverage

A name-only search is a directory cross-check, not proof of ownership or registration. GST lookup requires a supplied 15-character Indian GSTIN; input shape alone does not prove validity. The confidence score is a tool heuristic, not a statistical probability or certification.

A useful next question

For a GST check, obtain the identifier from the business or its official records, then pass gstin to verify_business and to estimate_cost. Confirm consequential decisions against official records.

Returned metadata includes the source coverage, credits used and any warnings. Additional data calls can use more credits.
