- Store all extracted data in organized Google Sheets for easy access and follow-up
Setup

- Google Sheets account with OAuth2 setup
- Apify account with API access for Google Places scraping
- Firecrawl account with API access for website scraping

How to customize this workflow to your needs
- Change search criteria: Modify the Apify scraping parameters to target different business types (restaurants, gyms, salons, etc.) or locations
