How to Use Clay for Scraping Google Maps Local Businesses

Hi guys! I'm pretty new to Clay and I would love to learn how to use it better My goal is to scape Google Maps Local Businesses and scale in order to cover all the country. As far as I understood it's possible to do something like this using a Serper.dev integration but I'm not skilled enough to understan everything properly. Does anyone have a guide or something similar about this topic? Thank you!

hey so you ll need the following
list of cities you can use in your query in serper
the category you want to target, i suggest checking this, it will also give you a rough idea of what the volume is like for the category you are targeting
then you want to use the places endpoint in serper to find the business by cateogry and city
you can do this in clay or outside it
once you have the businesses you can import to clay and enrich them further
