# Serper API Guide for GTM Workflows

> Use Serper for broad live Google web search and local/maps recall. Strong first step before structured extraction or enrichment.

## Playbook

# Serper Agent Guidance

Use Serper when you need live Google results fast and broad recall matters more than source-specific extraction.

Prefer `serper_google_search` for:

* broad web research
* newsy or changing facts
* finding a company, person, or topic before deeper enrichment
* collecting candidate URLs to hand off to extraction tools

Prefer `serper_google_maps_search` for:

* local business discovery
* location-aware company lookups
* phone, address, rating, website, or CID retrieval

Practical guidance:

* Start with Serper before heavier browser or extraction workflows when you do not yet know the right destination URL.
* Treat Serper as a discovery and recall layer, then pass strong hits into structured tools like Firecrawl, Apify, or provider-specific enrichments.
* Use Maps search when the user cares about storefronts, service areas, offices, or other local entities.
* Expect live-search variability. If a result is important, validate it with the returned URL or a follow-up fetch.
