Best Practices

Effective Search Queries

✅ Good Examples:

• "italian restaurants brooklyn nyc"
• "dentists near downtown los angeles"
• "hotels times square manhattan"
• "coffee shops portland oregon"

❌ Poor Examples:

• "restaurants" (too broad)
• "businesses" (too vague)
• "nyc" (missing business type)

Tips:

1. Include business category (dentist, restaurant, hotel, shop)
2. Specify location (city, neighborhood, or landmark)
3. Be specific rather than general

Resource Management

1. Start with 50-100 results per query
2. Enable email scraping only if you need contact information
3. Use multiple specific queries rather than one broad query
