To maximize your local business search results in Clay, here are some effective strategies:1. Break down your search into smaller geographic areas: ā¢ Choose specific target areas rather than broad regions ā¢ Input specific addresses when needed ā¢ Adjust the search radius to manageable sizes 2. Refine your business type search using either: ā¢ Free text search for flexibility ā¢ Pre-defined Google business categories for structured results 3. Optimize your search areas: ā¢ Focus on specific locations with a manageable perimeter ā¢ Avoid areas that include non-business zones like oceans or rural areas ā¢ Aim for locations that would yield fewer than 1,000 results for more accurate data 4. Be patient during the data loading process - what starts as a few dozen listings may grow to hundreds as the full data set populates.

You can use our workflow that helps scrape affiliate websites and search results using Serper.dev. Here's what you'll be able to do:1. Use Serper to scrape search results of affiliate websites 2. Extract companies that are typically difficult to find through traditional platforms like Apollo or Google Maps 3. Compile the data into JSON format for easy export to your Clay table, with each scraped domain in a separate rowNote: To use this functionality, you'll need to have your own Serper.dev API Key.

via http api integration
thats the $350/mo plan tho right?
yes
The HTTP API feature, which you can use to connect with Serper.dev, is available on our Explorer plan and above, which starts at 349/month when billed monthly. The good news is that using the HTTP API itself doesn't cost any additional credits - if you already have a Serper.dev subscription, you won't need to pay extra to use it through Clay.
