2. Provide country - When using local numbers, always specify the country parameter
3. Monitor confidence - Check confidence scores to assess data reliability
4. Handle errors gracefully - Plan for NOT_FOUND and ERROR responses in your workflows
5. Enable reviews selectively - Only enable when needed to optimize processing time and costs

---

Troubleshooting

No results found:

• Verify phone number format is correct
• Ensure business has an online presence
• Check if phone is publicly published
• Try international format instead of local

Invalid phone error:

• Use international format: +[country code] [number]
• Provide correct country parameter for local numbers
• Verify country name/code is spelled correctly

Slow execution:

• Normal processing: 3-5 seconds per phone
• With reviews enabled: 5-8 seconds (additional data processing)
