⚙️ Tips & advanced options

• Scrape a whole category — pass a sitemap URL such as https://www.expertise.com/category/sitemap/legal.xml to enqueue every city listing in that category, then cap the volume with Max items.
• Target a niche — use a sub-category page like https://www.expertise.com/home-improvement/roofing/illinois/chicago to pull every ranked provider for one service in one city.
• Combine many cities — add multiple start URLs in a single run to build a multi-market lead list.
• Schedule it — use Apify Schedules to refresh your directory data automatically.
