Limitations

• Only public JustDial listing data is returned.
• Phone numbers, websites, hours, reviews, and photo counts can be missing when JustDial does not show them.
• JustDial search results can change by city, category, ranking, and time.
• Very broad categories may return mixed businesses; use specific category terms for cleaner datasets.
• Public directory data should be verified before high-stakes outreach, compliance, or onboarding decisions.

Competitor and comparison notes

• Compared with Google Maps: JustDial can be especially useful for India-specific local service discovery. Google Maps is stronger when you need map coordinates, global coverage, and place IDs.
• Compared with IndiaMart: JustDial is stronger for service businesses and local storefronts. IndiaMart is stronger for suppliers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and product sourcing.
• Compared with generic crawlers: This actor gives normalized business fields instead of unstructured page text.
• Compared with an official API: JustDial does not offer a general public data API for this workflow, so this actor is designed around public listing pages.
