How to use

1. Add one or more search queries (include a city or area for best results).
2. Set maxResults per query.
3. Leave proxy on Apify Proxy for reliable extraction.
4. Click Start, then download your data as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Tips

• Add the location directly in each query (e.g. "plumbers in Denver") for the most relevant results.
• Split large areas into multiple queries (by neighborhood or ZIP) to get deeper coverage.
• Not every business lists a phone or website — those fields may be empty.
