When I'm searching for local businesses, I find I get better results from searching GMaps than through the regular Google search.
Switched to DuckDuckGo a few months ago and haven't looked back, the results pages are much cleaner, like the old Google results.
One blatant issue with Google (& DDG still often does not get right) is the search for a specific busines - using the exact business name and sometimes even town - I expect their listing to be at the top. Instead there's piles of Yelp & listing pages, and I often cannot even find the actual Item for which I'm searching - sometimes have to go to the indexers, hunt for their posting of the intended [website], and go that way.
Opportunity for someone to get it actually right...
