⚠️Notes, Limitations, and Tips

• Result counts can vary. Google Maps does not guarantee a fixed number of listings for a query; duplicates or hidden listings can reduce totals.
• Google frequently changes page structure. This scraper uses multiple fallbacks, but updates may be required over time.
• Email extraction is best-effort by scanning the listed website; not all businesses list an email.
• If Chrome or ChromeDriver versions change, webdriver-manager will fetch a compatible driver automatically.
• If you see intermittent timeouts, increase --slow (e.g., 3 → 5 or 7).
• Use responsibly and comply with the terms of the services you access.
