I have found that even if I have the business in my contacts SIRI will still respond in that way.
I say: “Call Yellow Cab” and SIRI responds “I found a Yellow cab on Gladstone Street is that the one you want?” Even worse if I say “Call Caseno Taxi” also in my contacts SIRI will often respond “I found “Caseno Nova Scotia on Barrington Street . . .” - Totally unrelated to my request. It would seem as if there may be a different search algorithm which basis responses on paying customers. I have noticed this since iOS 8. It is so inefficient now. If you ask it to call a friend or family member in your contacts it works fine. Otherwise I now say “dial” and give it the number of the taxi company I want.
