Hi Group, I tried searching neighborhoods in Canada and for some reason I got results from other similar nameds neighborhoods in other provinces. What have you found to be the most effective way to search all the local business in a specific area/city to get all the leads without getting areas that you are not searching for?
Thank you
Hi @Constantinos_Lagos,
Thank you for your question!
Google Maps Scraper extracts the data the same way it’s placed on Google Maps by your queries (categories and locations combined). Sometimes Google adds other categories to your searches. For example, when you search for restaurants you might see bars, coffee shops, or even hotels. Sometimes Google adds other locations. For this reason, Outscraper provides you with filters that you can use to eliminate these results and tune your searches. You can learn more about the filters here: https://outscraper.com/google-maps-data-scraper-filters
To search all the local businesses in a specific area/city Outscraper recommends using zip codes. Please visit this article to learn more: How to Scrape Densely Populated Areas and Categories From Google Maps? | Outscraper.
