Centralizing Market Driven Google Maps Searches: Timeout and Incomplete Results - Need Help

ยท

Hi clay team - I'm trying to centralize market driven google maps searches into one central table, but the search appears to be timing out or not completing. It adds about 20 businesses, but then just says it's searching and goes on endlessly. Please advise.

    Sorry for not replying, I noticed you were on a call with Anjali and she was running some tests I believe. We'll get some insights from the team to determine what may be going on there.Do new searches run into the same issue for you?

    although, what I'm noticing is that if I run a really wide search I definitely miss out on results even if that number is under 200 or I hit fetch additional results

    Yep, it's a limitation of this integration, wide searches could be a hit or a miss, and it's easier to just go to a medium radius but you'd have to run multiple searches to get more than 200 in a single table. Other tools could scrape google maps a bit more extensively, I think Apify may have a scraper for that.
