🧭 Tips for accurate geo & language targeting

• country vs language: country controls where Google thinks you're searching from. language sets the UI language and influences snippet language.

• Domain choice: Use a matching Google domain for better regional results (e.g., google.co.uk for the UK, google.de for Germany). If in doubt, google.com is fine.

• Should the proxy country match country field? Yes, ideally. For the most region-accurate results, set the proxy's country to the same value as country field. If your proxy plan doesn't support the exact country, pick the closest available region or keep it unset and rely on country + domain.

🌍 Proxy usage

Using Apify Residential Proxy is recommended to:

• Improve success rates and reduce blocks
• Get region-consistent results (match proxy country to country when possible)
• Rotate IPs automatically on retries

⚙️ Best practices

• Pagination & limits: Google returns up to 10 organic items per page. Set maxItems to the total you need (e.g., 50 grabs 5 pages).
• Respectful usage: Keep request volumes reasonable to avoid rate-limiting.
• Consistency: For reproducible results, keep domain, country, language, and proxy settings stable across runs.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need to set both country and domain? A: Not strictly. country is the main geotargeting lever. The domain helps too. Using both gives the most consistent regional flavor.

Q: Why are some snippets truncated or duplicated? A: Google often compacts text or includes sitelinks. The scraper returns the visible snippet string; formatting can vary per query/region.

Q: Can I get ads, knowledge panels, People also ask, etc.? A: This actor focuses on organic results (position, title, url, snippet) for speed and reliability. If you need more SERP entities, reach out to discuss an extended version.
