Type a search term + location. Get a ready-to-use cold email list. No website list needed.

No website list required. No manual work. Just search and go.

The Problem This Solves

You want to launch a cold email campaign but you're stuck at step zero:

• ❌ Manual approach: Spend 40+ hours collecting websites, then finding emails → impossible at scale
• ❌ Incomplete data: Use a generic lead list that's outdated or missing the businesses you actually want
• ❌ Wrong tools: Maps Scraper gives you names & addresses, but where are the emails?
• ❌ Expensive alternatives: Pay $300–$800/month for an enrichment tool

This actor eliminates the setup problem — search Google Maps directly, find emails automatically, and export to your email sequencer in under 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a website list? No. That's the whole point. You just type what you're looking for (search term + location) and the actor finds everything.

Why is residential proxy recommended? Google Maps actively blocks datacenter IPs (standard on Apify). Residential proxies bypass this and increase your hit rate by 10–15%. Apify charges extra for residential proxies, but it's worth it for large runs (50+ businesses).

What if a business uses a contact form instead of email? The actor records it as not_found and still returns all the other data (name, website, address, phone). You can manually visit those sites or use them for alternative outreach.

How many businesses can I search per run? Google Maps typically shows 120 results max per search. You can request up to 120 in the actor settings. For narrower results, be more specific in the search term (e.g., "dental office" instead of "dentist").

Will I get duplicate emails? The actor deduplicates emails, so each email appears only once even if multiple businesses use it (e.g., shared marketing agencies email).

Why do some emails show as "low" confidence? Low confidence emails come from:

• Third-party domains (Gmail, Outlook, HubSpot, Mailchimp, etc. — not business domains)
• Fake TLDs detected in our filter (URLs masquerading as emails)
• Unclear context on the page (email found in blog comment, not contact section)

These are flagged so you can review before sending. High-volume campaigns should focus on verified only.

How long does a run take? Depends on the number of businesses:

• 5 businesses: ~2–3 minutes
• 20 businesses: ~5–8 minutes
• 50 businesses: ~15–20 minutes
• 100 businesses: ~30–40 minutes

Time varies based on site speed and how many subpages are crawled.

Is this safe to use? Yes. The actor:

• Respects robots.txt and rate-limits
• Uses proper browser headers
• Doesn't overload servers
• Works within Apify's residential proxy terms

Safe for high-volume runs (100+/day).

What happens if a site is unreachable? The actor logs it as site_unreachable and still returns all Maps data (name, address, phone, website). You get the full row, just without the email — useful for manual outreach.

---

Cost Estimate

Apify charges by compute time (measured in actor-compute units, ACUs).

Volume	Est. Time	Est. Cost
10 businesses	3 min	~$0.05
50 businesses	15 min	~$0.25
100 businesses	35 min	~$0.60
500 businesses	3 hours	~$3–5

Plus residential proxy fees if enabled (Apify's standard proxy pricing). Always budget for 1–2 extra ACUs per 100 businesses.

---

Tips for Best Results

1. Use residential proxies for runs over 20 businesses — worth the extra cost
2. Be specific with search terms — "dental office" finds better results than "dentist"
3. Enable subpage crawling — finds 15–20% more emails on /contact and /about pages
4. Validate MX records — filters out dead/bouncing email domains
5. Sort by email_confidence — focus on "verified" emails first
6. Test with 5–10 businesses first — see the output quality before scaling to 100
