# Google Local Pack schema
> Schema for Google's local pack (the map-backed '3-pack' of local businesses) returned by the Google Search endpoint, including ratings, price, category, address, phone, and hours.
This section documents the **local pack** data returned by the [Google Search endpoint](/api-reference/endpoint/monitor-google). These places are part of the same response, so no separate API call is needed. For use cases, pricing context, and copy-paste examples, see the [Local Pack API](https://cloro.dev/serp-api/local-pack/) page on the product site.
## Overview
Google's local pack (often called the "3-pack") is the map-backed block of local businesses that appears for local-intent queries such as `best pizza in new york city` or `plumbers in houston`. When this module is present, the response includes a `localResults` array where each entry is a single place.
The `localResults` field is omitted from `result` when the module is absent — treat it as optional rather than expecting an empty array.
The pack only exposes its visible places (typically 3). When Google renders a "More places" / "More businesses" control, the response also includes `result.localResultsMoreLink` — the absolute URL of Google's expanded [Local Finder](https://support.google.com/business/answer/7025874) for the query. The full expanded list is not embedded in this response; follow that link (or scrape it separately) to retrieve it.
Local pack extraction is **desktop only**. Mobile SERPs render the pack with a different layout, and Google's separate hotels/travel pack is a distinct module — neither is surfaced in `localResults`.
## Place structure
`position` and `title` are always present. Every other field is included only when Google renders it for that place, so field availability varies by query (restaurant packs tend to carry `price`; service packs tend to carry `yearsInBusiness`, `phone`, and `hours`).
| Field | Type | Description |
| ----------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `position` | number | Position within the pack (1-indexed) |
| `title` | string | Business name as displayed on the SERP |
| `placeId` | string | Google entity id for the place (e.g. `"/g/11bw4ws2mt"`) |
| `rating` | number | Average star rating (0–5) |
| `reviews` | string | Review count as displayed by Google (e.g. `"26K"`). Free-form string — not normalized to a number. |
| `price` | string | Price band as displayed by Google (e.g. `"$10–20"`). Currency symbol matches the locale. |
| `type` | string | Business category (e.g. `"Pizza"`, `"Plumber"`) |
| `yearsInBusiness` | string | Years-in-business badge, when shown (typical on service-style packs) |
| `address` | string | Street address or locality as displayed on the SERP |
| `phone` | string | Phone number, when shown (locale-formatted) |
| `hours` | string | Opening-hours text as displayed (e.g. `"Open · Closes 11 PM"`, `"Open 24 hours"`) |
| `description` | string | Trailing snippet — a review quote or a service-options line |
| `links` | object | Action links, when rendered. See [Links](#links) below. |
### Links
Business and service-style packs (plumbers, salons, dentists, …) render each place with action buttons. When present, `links` carries the ones we resolve:
| Field | Type | Description |
| ------------ | ------ | ----------------------------------- |
| `website` | string | The business's own website URL |
| `directions` | string | Absolute Google Maps directions URL |
Each key is included only when Google rendered that button. Restaurant packs render places as plain buttons and carry no `links` object.
## Response examples
Field availability varies by pack flavour. Restaurant and retail packs tend to carry `price` and a review snippet, and render places as plain buttons (no `links`); service packs tend to carry `yearsInBusiness`, `phone`, `hours`, and `links`.
