Google Maps Reviews Scraper

Google Maps Reviews Scraper helps you collect structured review data from Google Maps place URLs in a fast, repeatable way.

Use it to:

• monitor brand reputation across multiple locations
• track competitors and compare sentiment over time
• collect review datasets for analysis, dashboards, and AI workflows
• enrich lead research with place-level business context

Instead of manually opening profiles and copying reviews, you can run one Actor job and get clean JSON output ready for automation.

Features

• Works with both short Google Maps share links and full place URLs
• Supports bulk scraping in one run with configurable concurrency
• Lets you control output fields to keep datasets lean
• Returns consistent schema for downstream integrations
• Designed for production workflows on Apify

Output

Results are stored in the run dataset in the Output/Storage tab.

Each dataset item contains:

• place
  • name, url, rating, totalReviewCount, category
  • address (full, street, city, country)
  • phone, website, timezone
  • hours.weekly[] (day, isOpen, open, close, display)
• scrapedSummary
  • requestedMaxReviews
  • scrapedReviewCount
  • sortOrder
  • scrapedReviewAverageRating
  • status (complete or partial)
  • errorCodes
• reviews[]
  • position, rating, publishedAt
  • author (name, profileUrl, reviewCount, photoCount)
  • optional text, photos, ownerReply depending on input toggles

Notes

For lighter users, check out the pay-per-result Actor here: https://apify.com/matthewjames/google-maps-review-scraper-pay-per-result

• If a place has fewer reviews than requested, the actor returns the available amount.
• Output fields are controlled by your toggles, so you only pay for and process what you need.
