Google Sheets

Use Google Sheets to clean multiple Google Business Names.

1. Connect your Google account
   • Select or add a Google account under the Select Google Account option.

Watch Row (Optional)

Watch Row Schedule:

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Schedule the automation to run at specific times if you regularly clean business name data. Click Schedule and choose one of the following options:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., daily or weekly)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Thursday)

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

Avoid detection and simulate human-like activity by setting an iteration delay. Choose minimum and maximum time intervals to add randomness between actions. This makes your activity look natural and reduces the chance of being flagged.

• Minimum Delay: Enter the shortest interval (e.g., 10 seconds).
• Maximum Delay: Enter the longest interval (e.g., 20 seconds).

Tip: Random delays keep your automation safe and reliable.

• Append (Default): Adds new results to the end of existing data, merging them into a single CSV file.
• Split: Saves new results as separate CSV files for each automation run.
• Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results.
• Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows.

Tip: Google Sheets export makes it easy to collaborate with your team in real time.
