Use Cases
Businesses can monitor their own reviews and competitor reviews for reputation management. Marketing agencies can analyze customer sentiment across multiple locations. Real estate professionals can evaluate neighborhood business quality. Researchers can study consumer behavior patterns and review authenticity across industries.
Limitations
This actor uses Puppeteer for full browser rendering, which requires more memory (2048-8192 MB). Google Maps implements anti-bot detection that may limit the number of reviews extracted per session. Residential proxies are recommended for best results. Review loading depends on scroll-based pagination, which may be slower for large review volumes.
Cost
This actor uses pay-per-event pricing at $1.50 per 1,000 results. You only pay for the data you receive. See Apify pricing for platform compute costs.
