How It Works:
TARGET AUDIENCE SETUP:

-- It pulls pagination and extraction tracking from a Google Sheet, ensuring it resumes from where it left off to prevent duplicates.
-- Pagination is dynamically set to efficiently process multiple search result pages.
EXTRACT HTML RESULTS:
-- The workflow loops through pages using a Scraper API to fetch Google Search results, which contain social media profile links and useful contact details (emails, phone numbers, etc.).
-- An HTML parser extracts structured data from these results.
-- The system merges extracted data across multiple pages for a comprehensive dataset.
EXTRACT USEFUL INFORMATION & STORE:
--AI-powered tools analyze and extract relevant details from the scraped content using GPT-4o Mini, which is more cost-effective than other LLMs.
