What the business finder is
The business finder is a company prospecting tool built on open map data. It searches a catalogue of roughly 1.79 million businesses in Türkiye by province, district and category, and returns the contact details that came with each record: phone, website, email, address and social profiles where they exist. Matching companies can be imported straight into the CRM as contacts.
It answers a different question from the social catalogues. Lead discovery finds people by what they talk about and how big their audience is. The business finder finds businesses by what they do and where they are, which is the question a local service, a B2B supplier or a field sales team actually asks.
Why the filtering is geographic
The obvious way to filter by province would be to read the address field on each record. We do not, because in the Turkish data that field is empty on roughly 92% of rows and inconsistent on most of the rest. Filtering on it would return a small, arbitrary and confidently wrong subset.
Instead each business is matched against the real geographic boundary of the province and district. A dentist is in Karşıyaka because their coordinates are inside Karşıyaka, not because somebody typed it into a form. It costs more to build and it is the only version of this feature that produces a list worth calling.
What is in a record
Not every field is present on every business. Where the source has it, a record carries:
- The business name and its category.
- Coordinates, plus the province and district they resolve to.
- A phone number and a street address.
- A website, and an email address where one is published.
- Social profiles attached to the business.
The honest limits
This is open data, not a commercial contact database, and the difference shows in three places.
- Coverage is Türkiye. The catalogue is built for the Turkish market; other countries are not covered today.
- Fields are uneven. Many records have a phone number and a website; far fewer have an email address. Filters such as "has a website" exist precisely so you can narrow to the rows that are actionable for your channel.
- Social handles skew heavily to Facebook. In the Turkish data, roughly 98% of the social links are Facebook pages and Instagram appears on only a small fraction of records, so do not plan an Instagram-first campaign on this source alone.
What it costs
The business finder starts on Pro at $24.99 a month with 200 lookups a month; Business at $99 includes 2,000. It is not part of the Free plan. Imported companies are ordinary contacts and count against your contact allowance like any other.
