Find the best shops, restaurants, and local businesses by reading real Google reviews—without hopping across tabs. Type what you’re looking for, pick how many results you want, hit Search, and skim everything in one clean view.
Why ABD is different
- Reviews first: read what people say on Google directly in your results, no extra clicking around.
- All essentials in one place: address (with Google Maps link), website (when available), phone number, and Google rating for each listing.
- Fast + focused: built to help you decide quickly, not to drown you in ads or sponsored placements.
- No subscriptions, no accounts: just search and go.
It’s simple like ➊ ➋ ➌
➊ Type your keywords — e.g., best coffee near Picadilly Circus London, pizza in Milan, tailor in Hong Kong Central. ➋ Choose how many results you want to review. ➌ Hit “Search” and enjoy a tidy page with reviews, links, and contact details.
What you get for each listing
- 📝 Google review snippets to gauge quality at a glance
- 📍 Open in Google Maps for directions
- 🌐 Website link (if listed on Google)
- 📞 Phone number for quick calls
- ⭐ Google rating to compare options fast

Tips for great searches

❓What to do after purchase (click to expand)
Add your key in index.php
$google_api_key = getenv('GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY');
if (!$google_api_key) {
$google_api_key = 'Add_your_free_google_API_key_here';
}
Option A (quick): replace the placeholder:
$google_api_key = 'YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY';
Option B (cleaner): leave code as-is and set an environment variable:
.htaccess (Apache)
SetEnv GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY
Nginx
fastcgi_param GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY;
Create a Google Places API key (quick steps)
- Open Google Cloud Console → create/select a project: https://console.cloud.google.com/
- Enable Places API (and Maps JS API if you embed a map).
- APIs & Services → Credentials → Create credentials → API key.
- Restrict the key:
- Browser calls: HTTP referrers → add your domain (e.g.
https://example.com/*). - Server calls: IP address restriction → add your server’s IP.
- API restrictions → allow only Places API (and Maps JS API if used).
- Browser calls: HTTP referrers → add your domain (e.g.
- Set up Billing for the project (required by Google for Places API).
- Copy the key and paste/set it as above. Reload and test a search.
Troubleshooting
- REQUEST_DENIED / not authorized: adjust key restrictions (referrer/IP + API).
- No reviews/empty: ensure Places API is enabled and your key is loaded.
- Over quota: check Quotas in Google Cloud and adjust.
