Search tips

• Use broad keywords — repair matches automotive repair, appliance repair, clock repair, and more in one search. Narrow with specific terms if you need precision.
• Combine with categories — running multiple specific category searches compiles all records into a single merged run.
• Use the categories list — run sourceCategories: ["Automovitve_repair", "Towing_Service", "Transmission_Shop"] to pull all automotive sectors in a single job.
• Set limits high — set to 5000 or 10000 when building a campaign outreach list. You can always filter the exported CSV further.
• Partial match is on by default — Repair also matches Repair Shop and Repair Services. Use "matchType": "full_word" to reduce noise.

How it works

1. Enter a category keyword describing the type of American business you are looking for
2. Optionally select specific registry source categories to narrow down sectors
3. Set how many records you want
4. The platform retrieves matching businesses and writes them to your dataset as they arrive
5. When the run finishes, download your contact list as JSON, CSV, or Excel

FAQ

Why do some records have a blank email? Not every business has a publicly listed email address. Records with no email still include phone, address, and website, which are often enough for outreach.

Why did I get fewer results than my limit? Only businesses matching your filters are returned. If 200 transmission shops are indexed and you set limit to 500, you will receive 200 records. Try a broader keyword to get more.

Can I search multiple categories in one run? Yes. Use the categories or sourceCategories fields and enter one keyword per line. The platform searches each in sequence and merges all results into a single dataset run.

Does partial matching work? Yes. repair matches Auto_repair, Appliance_Repair, and Clock_Repair. Use "matchType": "full_word" for exact matching.

How do I export results? After the run completes, open the dataset in your Apify console and click Export. Choose JSON, CSV, or Excel. You can also connect to Google Sheets directly via Apify integrations.

Is there a limit per run? The actor supports up to 100,000 records per run. For very large exports, split your categories to keep individual runs manageable.
