⭐ Google Maps Reviews Scraper

Pull customer reviews from any Google Maps place — by keyword + location, or by pasting specific place URLs. You get one clean row per review: reviewer name, star rating, full review text, date, and the owner's response. Reliable browser automation, sorted newest-first by default.

Perfect for reputation monitoring, review/sentiment analysis, local SEO and competitor research. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

🔎 What is the Google Maps Reviews Scraper?

Give it a search (e.g. "restaurants in New York") or a list of Google Maps place URLs, and it opens each place, loads the reviews, and extracts them into structured rows — including the business owner's replies. Track your own reviews, watch competitors, or analyze a whole category of local businesses.

What data does it extract?

• Place name and URL
• Reviewer name
• Star rating (1–5)
• Review text (full, auto-expanded)
• Relative date (e.g. "a month ago")
• Owner response (when present)
• Review ID + the original search query/location
