Finds results from locations I did not specify

I wrote it the specific location of Price Edward Island, Canada. The scraper does return results from Price Edward Island, Canada, but also returns many results in various cities in the unites states which drastically increases costs.

Hi!

It is a known limitation for search - location is not exact, it is what Google calculated as a relevant result for the keyword and location.

However, you can try Instagram as an alternative: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/qBcd5h3p1klR2beV4

Instagram location ID https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/166733300051314 is the same as on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Prince%20Edward%20Island,%20Canada/166733300051314/#

So, posts from the Instagram location contain profile names, and then, by scraping profile details, you can find whether it is a business or a person.

Another option might be scraping Google Maps and filtering out places without a referenced Facebook page.
