Use Cases

• Lead generation: Find local businesses with emails and social profiles for outreach
• Market research: Analyze business categories, ratings, and density in any area
• Competitor analysis: Track ratings, reviews, and online presence of competitors
• Web development leads: Filter for businesses without websites using the website filter
• SEO/Marketing leads: Filter for businesses with websites to offer digital marketing services

Tips for best results

• Use residential proxies (default) — Google blocks datacenter IPs aggressively
• Keep concurrency at 3-5 for stability, increase to 8-10 if you have good proxies
• Be specific with queries — "Italian restaurants in Manhattan" yields better results than "restaurants"
• For large extractions (>120 places), the scraper automatically splits the search area into a geographic grid
• Enable email extraction for lead generation — only charged when emails are actually found
• Use the website filter to target your ideal prospects (e.g. "without website" for web dev leads)

Limitations

• Google Maps DOM structure changes periodically. The scraper uses fallback selectors but may need updates.
• Some places may have partial data (null fields) if Google doesn't display certain information.
• Review dates are relative ("2 months ago") as displayed by Google, not absolute dates.
• Email extraction depends on the business website being accessible and containing visible email addresses.
• Social media links from websites are filtered to exclude website builder profiles (Wix, Squarespace, etc.).
