Q: Why does this stop after only a few results?
For instance, I plugged in "Accountants" as the Keyword and "New York, NY" as the Location. There are literally thousands upon thousands of accountants in NY, NY. And yet it returned 121 Records Found. Why is that? Am I doing something wrong? Why would it stop at only 121 records? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

May 23, 2024A: Hello Adam,
Sounds like you are using a Google Maps scraper in the program. If you actually go to google maps and do any search you will see they give a max of 120 results. This is the limit google maps sets per search. It isn't anything that the program is enforcing it is a hard limit set by google. Inside and outside the program the limit is the same. If you need more data you need to do more searches. If your location should have more than 120 results then you need to split your location into more searches, the smallest of which is by zip code. Each search will have the 120 results limit. But when you combine them all you should have much better coverage of your area.
Thanks,

Everything on LS is yielding very limited results. I ran accountant as my keyword w/ a location.
Yellow USA: only 77 records, less than half had an email.
Google Full: 25 records, none w/ email.
Google Places Full: 1 record w/ no info.
Yahoo Local: 15 records, 0 emails. And it had filters like: swimming pool, bar, hot tub, restaurant, spa, etc.
Is anyone getting decent results with this?!?!
