I used the Google Maps Scraper (Compass) on Apify to extract all jewelry stores from Zagreb. I used the keywords "zlatar" and "zlatarna." However, the scraper gave me results that included unrelated places like medical offices and other businesses. Why is this happening, and how can I optimize my search to only get results for the specified location and keywords?

same thing is happening to me as well when I use English words. For example, when I use the word pest control, after some time it grabs things like small engine repair shop or tree service company or something not relating to the category I typed - wasting money in a sense.

Hey,
this is happening because Google Maps gives us results that they think are close enough to your keywords. To solve this, we use category filter - it will discard any place whose category isn't included in your filter. Note that category filter currently works only with English.
You'll find category filter in 🔍 Search filters & categories input section.
