- Ask: "Normalize to a stable schema with name, type, address, phone, website, and rating"
- Import into your venue directory or booking platform

Use places-search to find event venues, hotels, and private dining restaurants in the city centres of Leeds and Sheffield. Return stable JSON with name, type, address, phone, website, and rating for import into a venue directory.
Tips
- Add a city tag to each record when querying multiple cities so you can filter cleanly
- Lock the schema before your first batch run to avoid transformation work later
- Flag records with missing phone or website data so your team can enrich them manually
