Hey, Does anybody know why a clay search for business on google maps produces only 1% of the results of my regular google maps search. Is there a filter in clay that drops out the results? In this example it does not find anything. 🤔 https://www.loom.com/share/47ee1c7ad079461d9550585509cc9b1c

Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫶 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table 😉

Seems that the keywords are differently treated in the clay search field compared to google maps

Heiko F., apologies for the delay! I ran several tests and was able to increase results. The only thing different that helped in the end was to specify the location in the search query too. Here's a quick example:

Maybe "hedge fund sales" and the radius were too broad for this integration and couldn't process the request properly but giving it a more specific location like the city or maybe even the country's name would work best. Let me know if you run into any issues!

Hey Arturo, Thank you for your help. Seems to work a bit better. Anyhow the difference between direct map search and the interface is quite large.

Yeah, that's good feedback and we'll check if there are things that could be improved there but it may be a limitation from the integration from this provider itself which would be a bummer :/
