Tips for better results

Use Swedish category terms when possible.

Run broader terms first, then narrow down with more specific terms.

Use multiple locations to create regional lists in one run.

Keep test runs small before launching a large CRM export.

Review email availability because not every Hitta.se listing publishes an email address.

Use Apify webhooks to send completed datasets to Make or Zapier.

Use the Apify API to refresh Swedish prospect lists on a schedule.
