Scrape Facebook business pages by category + location. Strategy: Google SERP → Facebook Pages.

Strategy: Google SERP Discovery

  1. Build queries: Categories × locations → e.g. "Pub NYC", "Bar London"

  3. Extract URLs: Parse organic results, paginate &start=0, 10, 20...
  4. Scrape pages: Visit each Facebook URL, extract business data
  5. Output: Push results to dataset in real time
