Output shape

A list of n8n items, one per business in the local results.

Search results are flattened from the actor's local_results. Raw preserves each result object; Selected Fields includes chosen keys that exist on the result; Simplified maps a compact set of fields, with GPS coordinates split into latitude and longitude and place_id exposed as placeId. When used as an AI tool, output is forced to Simplified.
