The Search Location on Google Maps action enables your assistant to validate or locate addresses, businesses, or places using flexible query inputs. It’s ideal for cleaning up ambiguous address input or suggesting results for user confirmation.
ℹ️ This action can also support radius-based lookups, priority filters, and map mark targeting.

​
🔍 What It Does

It searches Google Maps using a query string and optional filters like coordinates, radius, or regional scope. The result includes location metadata that can be reused across actions or sent to the user for confirmation.
🚩 Use this when validating user-submitted addresses or narrowing down a delivery or service zone.
