Notes

• No proxy required — uses low concurrency (default 2) and human-like delays (3-7s)
• Google may block scraping if too many requests are made too quickly — increase delays if needed
• Results are stored in Apify Dataset — export as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• For production use at scale, consider adding Apify residential proxies
