How much does it cost to scrape Google Maps?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay for each lead saved to the dataset, and Apify platform usage is billed in addition. The price per lead depends on your Apify plan.

Plan	Price per lead	Price per 1,000 leads
Free	$0.007	$7.00
Bronze	$0.0054	$5.40
Silver	$0.0056	$5.60
Gold	$0.0049	$4.90

A small start charge applies to every run: $0.00005 per GB of memory, minimum one event. The default memory is 4,096 MB (4 GB), so each run starts with 4 events, which is $0.0002.

Worked example: collecting 1,000 leads on the Gold plan costs $4.90 for results plus the $0.0002 start charge, with platform usage billed in addition. Collecting 500 leads on the Free plan costs $3.50.

Is scraping Google Maps free?

You can start for free. The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, which covers about 714 leads at the Free price of $0.007 per lead ($5 divided by $0.007), before platform usage. See the pricing tab for all events.

Input

The only required input is Search terms. Set the input in the Actor interface or send it as JSON through the API. This example searches for coffee shops in Austin and collects 20 places:

{
  "searchStringsArray": ["coffee shop"],
  "locationQuery": "Austin, Texas",
  "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

See the input schema for the full description of every field.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchStringsArray	array	Yes	none	What to look for, one term per line. Every term is searched separately.
locationQuery	string	No	empty	Free-text place such as Berlin, Germany.
maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch	integer	No	20	Places to collect per search term (1 to 5000).
startUrls	array	No	empty	Direct Google Maps place links.
language	string	No	en	Language of names, categories and descriptions.
countryCode	string	No	us	Country view to search from.
city, state, county, postalCode	string	No	empty	Precise area fields, combined into one search area.
categoryFilterWords	array	No	empty	Keep a business only if one word appears in its categories or description.

proxyConfiguration	object	No	{"useApifyProxy": false}	Optional network settings. Leave the default unless you need your own.

requestDelaySeconds	number	No	0.8	Pause between requests (0 to 10).
maxRetries	integer	No	3	Retries per request (1 to 10).

Location fields

Use either locationQuery or the precise fields. If locationQuery is filled, it is used and city, county, state and postalCode are ignored.

• ✅ Good: "locationQuery": "Manhattan, NYC"
• ✅ Good: "city": "Miami", "state": "Florida" with locationQuery empty
• ❌ Bad: "locationQuery": "Austin" together with "postalCode": "78701" (the postal code is ignored)

Warning: Location is not applied to links in startUrls. With no location at all, the search is not limited to any area.

Places per search term and filters

maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch limits how many places are collected per term before your filters run. Filters such as placeMinimumStars, website, categoryFilterWords and skipClosedPlaces then remove places, so you can receive fewer leads than the limit.

• ✅ Good: raise the limit when you use strict filters.
• ❌ Bad: expect exactly 20 leads when placeMinimumStars is four and the limit is 20.

Warning: Unrated places are dropped whenever a minimum rating is set.

Google Maps links

Paste place links into startUrls to collect specific businesses, one link per line. The business named in the link is looked up and the exact match is preferred in the results.

• ✅ Good: a link that opens one business on Google Maps.
• ❌ Bad: a link to your own saved list or to a page that is not a business.

Notes and limitations

• Only today's opening hours are returned, not the full week.
• price, reviewsCount and claimThisBusiness are present in every row but always null.
• A phone number from the listing is in phone. Numbers found on websites are in phones, and less certain ones are in phonesUncertain.
• Not every business publishes an email, so some leads have an empty emails list.

Tips and advanced usage

How many results can you scrape with Google Maps Leads Scraper?

The number of leads depends on how many places match your search, your filters, and the limit you set. A single search term returns at most about 600 places in one run, even if the limit is higher. The best way to know for your use case is a quick test run with 10 to 20 places.

How to get faster or cheaper results

• Lower maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch for a sample before a full run.
• Set contactMaxSubpages to 0 or 1 to finish faster when you only need the homepage contacts.
• Turn off scrapeWebsiteContacts if you only need listing data.
• Split a large city into several searches by postal code to reach more places.
• Keep verifyEmails off unless you need the extra checks.

Known issues

• While skipBigChains is on, contact collection is skipped for a short list of global chains, so those leads have empty contact lists.
• Businesses that publish no website or no email return empty contact lists.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Maps?

Web scraping is generally legal when you extract publicly available data, but respect personal data rules such as GDPR and the site's terms. Collect personal data only for a legitimate reason. Read Is web scraping legal? for background. This is not legal advice; consult a lawyer.

How does Google Maps Leads Scraper work?

You give it search terms and a location, or Maps links. The run collects the matching businesses, applies your filters, adds contact details from each business website if you enabled that option, and saves one lead per business to the dataset. You then export the results or fetch them through the API.

Why scrape Google Maps leads?

Google Maps lists local businesses with their category, address and rating. Collecting that data into a spreadsheet lets you build prospect lists for sales, find businesses without a website for web design offers, compare competitors in a city, and prepare cold email outreach, instead of copying details by hand one listing at a time.

Can I get emails from Google Maps?

Yes, when the business has a website. Keep Collect emails & social profiles on, and the Actor adds any emails, phone numbers and social links it finds on that website to the lead. Businesses that publish no email return an empty list. You can also turn on email verification to flag weak addresses.

Why am I getting fewer results than expected?

The limit applies to places collected before your filters. Minimum rating, website filter, category keywords, name matching and closed-place filters remove places afterwards. Duplicate places across search terms are also removed. Raise the places limit, loosen the filters, widen the location, or split a large area into several searches.

How do I find businesses without a website?

Set the Website filter to withoutWebsite and run your search. Only places that list no website are saved. You can combine it with a minimum rating and a category word to focus on well-rated businesses in one niche, which makes a useful prospect list for web design or marketing services.

Can I export Google Maps leads to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Every run stores results in a dataset that you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML. Pick a table view or select only the fields you need first. You can also send the results to Google Sheets with an integration or read them through the Apify API.

Google Maps Leads Scraper not working?

First, check the run log and the input. Make sure Search terms is filled, the location is spelled correctly, and your filters are not too strict. Then try a smaller test run. If the problem continues, open an issue on the Issues tab with your run link so the team can look into it.
