Start with one keyword, a moderate depth, and enrichments turned off. You can scale the next run once you see the shape of your results and cost estimate.

​
Before you start

Make sure you can:
  • Sign in to your account
  • Open the dashboard at https://brezelscraper.com/dashboard
  • Access the Jobs area
  • See available starter or purchased credits in Credits

​
Launch your first job

1

Open the new job flow

In the dashboard, go to Jobs and click New Job.
2

Add your search terms

Enter one or more keywords that describe the businesses you want to find.BrezelScraper accepts up to 5 search terms per job. Keep your first run narrow so you can verify quality before expanding to larger batches.
3

Choose the main search settings

Set the Language and Depth for the run.
  • Lower depth is faster and cheaper.
  • Higher depth explores more places and usually increases runtime and spend.
  • If you set Max results, you can cap how many places the job returns.
4

Turn on enrichments only if you need them

You can add optional enrichments before launch.
  • Extract emails checks business websites for contact emails.
  • Collect photos increases media coverage for the job.
  • Scrape reviews pulls review text and rating data.
Each enrichment can increase cost and runtime.
5

Review the estimate and start the job

BrezelScraper shows a pre-run estimate before you start.If your balance is too low, the dashboard blocks launch and shows Buy credits or Add Credits actions that take you to Credits.

Open the job details page

After the job is created, BrezelScraper redirects you to the job detail page where you can monitor status and review results.

​
What you will get back

A completed job can include:
  • Business name
  • Address and full address
  • Phone number
  • Website
  • Categories
  • Rating and review count
  • Coordinates
  • Opening hours
  • Extra enrichment fields if you enabled them

​
Common first-run issues

​
The estimate says I do not have enough credits

Go to Credits, add balance, and then retry the job with the same settings or a smaller configuration.

​
My job is taking longer than expected

This usually happens when you use:
  • Multiple keywords
  • Higher depth
  • Review scraping
  • Image collection
  • Email enrichment
For the first run, lower the depth or remove enrichments.

​
I got fewer places than I expected

Google Maps result volume depends on the keyword, area, and language context. Try one of these:
  • Broaden the keyword
  • Increase depth
  • Run multiple smaller jobs for different areas or terms

Once your first job finishes, continue with Manage jobs and results.
