Q: Is it possible to limit the search for a specific city?
I'm asking because I am using another lead sraper and it's giving me results from the targetted city but also from the surronding cities. And I only want leads from specific cities.

No, because of the websites that we scrape mostly all use systems where they will give you results from near by places to either tempt you to just look a little farther away or to make it look like they have more results for your searches. Nearly all directory sites do this, scrapers just scrape what the sites give us so we end up with similar results but just outside of your specific target. Google Maps will give near by results for example.
Yes, because the Local Scraper supports many websites. Home Advisor for example would be very specific on its location. I haven't checked recently if Bing, Yellow Pages, and Yahoo are nearby results or exact results.
