💡 Tips for best results

• Start small — test with 50 results first, then scale up
• Use specific keywords — "Italian Restaurant" finds more relevant results than just "Restaurant"
• Location matters — "Manhattan, NY" gives denser results than "New York State"
• Zip codes — for ultra-precise targeting, add zip codes to the locations array
• Email-only filter — enable onlyWithEmail for pure lead generation lists
• Multiple keywords — search for multiple business types in one run (e.g., ["Gym", "Yoga", "CrossFit"])
• Use URLs — paste Google Maps search or place URLs to scrape specific results directly
• Mix and match — combine keywords with URLs in the same run for maximum flexibility

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

Google Maps Scraper Pro can return up to 2,000 results per keyword on average. The engine automatically expands the search area beyond Google's default limit to find as many businesses as possible.

However, the actual number of results depends on:

• Population density — dense cities like New York yield more results than rural areas
• Business type — common businesses (restaurants, gyms) have more listings than niche ones
• Location scope — larger areas return more results

The best way to know for your specific use case is to run a test scrape with a small sample.

Why did I get fewer results than I requested?

If you set maxResults to 500 but received fewer, it usually means there aren't that many businesses of that type in the area. For example, searching for Plumber in a small town might only return 30 results — because that's all that exist on Google Maps.

When onlyWithEmail is enabled, the number may be even lower since not all businesses list email addresses on their websites. Google Maps Scraper Pro will keep searching until it reaches your target, but if the area is exhausted, it will deliver everything it found.

💡 Tip: Try broader locations (e.g., state instead of city) or add more keywords to increase results.

If you believe you're getting fewer results than expected and need help, reach out to us — our team responds within 12–14 hours.

How much will scraping Google Maps cost?

Google Maps Scraper Pro uses a simple Pay-Per-Event pricing model. You pay for verified results with no hidden fees.

• $7.50 per 1,000 results
• $0.05 per run start
• Free compute usage (platform costs are included in the price)

This means you pay exactly for what you get, without worrying about run duration or memory usage. The email extraction feature is included at no extra cost.

Do I need proxies to scrape Google Maps?

No. Google Maps Scraper Pro bypasses Google's anti-bot detection natively without proxies. This saves you money and simplifies setup. Only use proxies if you're running very high volumes (1,000+ results per run) and experiencing rate limits.

Why am I getting fewer emails than expected?

Email coverage depends on the industry. Many businesses don't list emails on their websites. Google Maps Scraper Pro only returns verified, real emails found in the business's actual website HTML — never guessed or fabricated addresses. Typical email coverage rates:

Industry	Email coverage
Law firms	70–85%
Restaurants	15–30%
Home services	40–60%
Medical/Dental	50–70%
Fitness/Gyms	35–55%

How is this different from other Google Maps scrapers?

Speed	~190 results/min	~20–50/min
Email extraction	✅ Built-in, 12 strategies	❌ or basic
Email-only filter	✅ Built-in	❌

Is it legal to scrape Google Maps?

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data. They only extract what businesses have chosen to share publicly on Google Maps. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data such as phone numbers and email addresses. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so.

If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping and ethical scraping.

Not your cup of tea? Build your own scraper

Google Maps Scraper Pro doesn't exactly do what you need? You can always build your own! Apify has various scraper templates in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript to get you started. Alternatively, you can write it from scratch using the open-source library Crawlee. You can keep the scraper to yourself or make it public by adding it to Apify Store (and find users for it).

Or let us know if you need a custom scraping solution.

How fresh is the data?

Google Maps Scraper Pro scrapes Google Maps in real-time — every run fetches live data directly from Google. This means you always get the most current business information available on Google Maps at the time of the scrape.

However, keep in mind that Google Maps data itself can be outdated — businesses may close, change phone numbers, or update their addresses, and Google doesn't always reflect those changes immediately. Google Maps Scraper Pro delivers exactly what Google Maps shows, as-is.

If you notice data quality issues or need help with your results, our team responds within 12–14 hours — just open an issue in the Issues tab.
