## What it does

This skill runs `apidojo~google-search-scraper` on Apify and accepts either `searchTerms` or Google `startUrls`. Each result contains a practice name, website URL, and Google snippet. You can set the country, language, result cap, page count, and mobile SERP mode.

It filters directory domains such as Healthgrades and Zocdoc, removes repeated practices by domain, and ranks results using health signals in the snippet, domain validity, and search position. The defaults include `countryCode` `US` and `maxPagesPerQuery` `1`. REST runs require `$APIFY_TOKEN`, so that route depends on the token being available.

The output does not include phone numbers or email addresses; it provides a starting list from search results. Ranking uses weights `0.50`, `0.30`, and `0.20`, with result tiers split at `0.70` and `0.40`.
