• 🐾 veterinarian

• 🚑 emergency veterinarian
• 🚐 mobile vet
• 🐶 veterinary clinic

Who is it for?

This actor is built for teams that sell to, research, or support veterinary practices.

• Insurance and financing providers mapping animal hospitals
• Recruiting and staffing agencies finding veterinary employers
• Marketing agencies targeting local veterinary practices
• SEO and reputation teams benchmarking nearby clinics
• Market researchers measuring clinic density by city

Why use this actor?

Generic map scraping can produce broad business data, but veterinary lead generation needs focused defaults and useful lead fields.

Search term tips

Use specific terms when you need a narrower list.

Examples:

• emergency veterinarian
• animal hospital
• mobile veterinarian
• exotic animal vet
• equine veterinarian
• veterinary dermatologist

Location tips

Locations can be cities, ZIP codes, counties, states, or countries.

For sales territory work, use city-level inputs for cleaner results.

For market sizing, use several nearby cities instead of one very broad state query.

Email enrichment

When enrichEmails is enabled, the actor visits each public business website found in Google Maps.

It extracts visible email addresses from the website HTML.

This can improve lead usefulness, but it also increases runtime and bandwidth.

Start with enrichment disabled, verify the base leads, then enable it for production prospecting runs.

Proxy settings

The default proxy setting uses no proxy because direct cloud runs returned Google Maps results most reliably during validation.

If Google Maps blocks a target geography, try residential proxy for a small run first.

Use the proxyCountryCode field to match your target market, such as US, CA, GB, or AU when a proxy is enabled.

Integrations

You can connect the output dataset to common workflows:

• Export CSV into a CRM such as HubSpot, Pipedrive, or Salesforce.
• Send rows to Google Sheets using Apify integrations.
• Trigger Make or Zapier workflows when a run finishes.
• Join the data with internal territory assignments.
• Enrich company websites in a separate email verification workflow.

Quality notes

Google Maps is a dynamic website and result availability can vary by location, language, proxy country, and query wording.

The actor skips places it cannot parse cleanly and continues with the next result.

Rows include searchQuery and location so you can audit how each lead was found.

Troubleshooting

If a run returns fewer results than expected, try a more specific location or reduce query breadth.

If Google blocks the browser session, try a small run with residential proxy and a matching country code.

If emails are missing, the business may not publish emails on its website or may render them through scripts/images.

Legality

This actor extracts publicly visible business information.

You are responsible for using the data lawfully, respecting privacy rules, and following applicable marketing, outreach, and data protection regulations.

Do not use scraped contact data for spam.

FAQ

Can I scrape only emergency vets?

Yes. Use queries: ["emergency veterinarian"] and your target locations.

Can I get emails?

Yes, enable enrichEmails. The actor visits public websites and extracts visible email addresses.

Can I scrape multiple cities in one run?

Yes. Add multiple values to locations. Every query is combined with every location.

Why are some fields empty?

Google Maps and business websites do not expose every field for every practice. Empty optional fields mean the value was not visible or parseable.

Should I use residential proxy?

Use the default no-proxy mode first. Residential is useful only when Google blocks direct sessions for your target geography.

Version notes

The first version focuses on public Google Maps business fields and optional website email/social enrichment.

Future improvements may add more robust place ID parsing, review sampling, or specialty classification if demand justifies it.
