Hey, I’m acutely in the market (considering moving away from Google)

2 Qs:

1. How does OpenCage correctness/completeness compare to Google Maps API, especially in rural and industrial regions where you have addresses like “AcmeCo Industries, 234-XY Unit C, Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai”? I’d like to confidently query the most precise location that still matches/contains my query.

2. Do you support querying by business names? Google’s geocoding doesn’t return the business name in the result (that’s a separate API), but it does use business names to resolve queries.
