Pricing

$0.005 per place. Pay-per-result — you only pay for actual auto repair shops returned.

Limitations

• Google Maps returns ~20 places per page. Some niches with very narrow keywords return less.
• Place data reflects what Google has indexed; recently-opened auto repair shops may not appear.
• Email is not returned (Google Maps does not expose business email). Use a website-emails scraper as a second step.

SEO keywords
