Google Maps Leads Scraper - Emails, Phones, Sites

Extract business leads from Google Maps at scale — names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, reviews, and (with deep scan) emails, social-media links, and named contacts harvested straight from each business's website. This Google Maps scraper turns a plain-English prompt like "find 50 dentists in Dubai with email and rating above 4" — or an explicit list of search terms, place URLs, or Place IDs — into a clean, export-ready dataset of local-business leads. The #1 use case: build targeted B2B prospect lists with verified contact details for cold outreach, no Google Places API key required.

What does the Google Maps Leads Scraper Actor do?

The Google Maps Leads Scraper is a tool that searches Google Maps for any business category in any location and returns structured business listings enriched with contact information. It automates the full Maps workflow — running each search, scrolling the results panel, opening every listing's detail pane, and extracting the business metadata — then optionally crawls each listing's website to find the emails and phone numbers Google itself never shows. Built on Playwright + headless Chromium with Apify Proxy support and a built-in natural-language prompt parser, it streams every record to your dataset as it's produced, so partial runs stay useful.

• Scrape business leads from Google Maps by keyword + location ("plumbers in Brooklyn")
• Extract emails from Google Maps listings via deep website crawling (homepage + contact pages)
• Find phone numbers, websites, and addresses for every local business in bulk
• Harvest social-media links — Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, WhatsApp
• Pull named contacts like CEO, Founder, Director, and Owner from business websites
• Search with a natural-language prompt ("find 100 coffee shops in NYC with email") — AI parses it for you
• Scrape by Place ID or Google Maps URL for pinpoint, exact-place extraction
• Filter leads by rating, review count, has-email, has-phone, has-WhatsApp, or no-website
• Verify discovered emails with a built-in MX-record check (emailValid flag)
• Extract Google Maps reviews and photos per place alongside the lead data

What data can I extract from Google Maps?

Each record in the dataset can include the following fields:

Field	Description
name	Business name
category	Google Maps business category (e.g. "Coffee shop")
address	Full street address
phone	Primary phone number
website	Business website URL
email	Best email (promoted from deep scan when available)
rating	Aggregate star rating (0–5)
reviewsCount	Total number of reviews
hours	Open/closed status string
plusCode	Plus-code-style location identifier
latitude / longitude	Geographic coordinates
googleMapsUrl	Direct link to the Maps listing
searchTerm	The query that produced this record
deepScanEmails	All emails found on the website (comma-separated)
deepScanPhones	All phone numbers found on the website
deepScanSocials	Social-media links (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube, WhatsApp)
deepScanIndividuals	Named contacts (CEO, Founder, Director, Owner)
emailValid	MX-validity flag when email verification is enabled
reviews	Array of individual reviews when reviewsLimit > 0
images	Array of photo URLs when imagesLimit > 0

deepScan* fields are empty strings unless deep scan is enabled. Any field absent on a listing returns an empty string or null — the actor never invents data.

How to scrape leads from Google Maps (step-by-step)

1. Open the actor and click the Run tab in the Apify console.
2. Either type a natural-language prompt (e.g. "50 dentists in Dubai with email rating above 4") or fill in Search terms + Location explicitly.
3. Set Max results per search term to your target lead count.
4. Toggle Deep scan on to harvest emails, phones, socials, and named contacts from each website.
5. (Optional) Add filters — minimum rating, has-email, has-phone, no-website — to keep only qualified leads.
6. Click Start and watch records stream into the dataset in real time.
7. Export the results to CSV, Excel, JSON, or Google Sheets, or pull them via the Apify API.

Pricing

This actor runs on Apify's usage-based pricing — you pay for the platform compute units and proxy traffic your run consumes, which scales with the number of listings, whether deep scan is on, and how many reviews/images you pull. There's no per-result fee charged by the actor itself. RESIDENTIAL proxy is recommended for reliable Google Maps access. See the actor's Pricing tab for current details.

Why use this Google Maps scraper instead of the Google Places API?

The official Google Places API charges per call, caps fields behind tiered pricing, and never exposes the email addresses or social links that small-business websites publish. This actor needs no API key, scrapes the contact details Google hides, and lets you drive it with a single natural-language prompt or a bulk list of terms, URLs, or Place IDs — then export everything to CSV or Sheets. The trade-off is that it depends on Google Maps' public HTML and proxy quality rather than a paid API contract.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Maps?

This actor collects publicly available business data from Google Maps. Public data scraping is generally permissible, but you are responsible for complying with Google's Terms of Service and applicable laws such as GDPR and CCPA — especially when using the contact data for outreach.

Do I need an API key or Google account?

No Google account, Google Places API key, or any other API key is required. Natural-language prompt parsing is built in and works out of the box.

How much does it cost to scrape Google Maps leads?

Cost depends on your usage — number of listings, deep-scan crawling, reviews, and proxy traffic — billed via Apify's usage-based pricing. There is no fixed per-result charge from the actor.

How many results can I get and how fast?

Google itself stops listing results around the 120 mark per search; split a broad search into narrower neighborhood queries to go beyond that. Deep scan adds roughly 3–8 seconds per listing that has a website, with an early exit once an email and phone are found.

Can I export to CSV, Excel, JSON, or Google Sheets?

Yes. Every record streams to an Apify dataset that you can export to CSV, Excel, JSON, or Google Sheets, or fetch through the Apify API and Python/JavaScript client SDKs.

Will I get blocked, and does it use proxies?

Google rate-limits scrapers from a single IP after a few hundred requests. The actor integrates Apify Proxy — the RESIDENTIAL group is the recommended default to avoid blocks.

How complete are the scraped emails?

Roughly 30–60% of small-business websites expose an email publicly; the rest hide behind contact forms. The actor never fabricates an email — deepScanEmails is simply empty when none is found.
