Google Maps Business Leads Scraper

Google Maps Business Leads Scraper

Google Maps Business Leads Scraper searches Google Maps and turns local business listings into clean, structured leads. Use it for B2B lead generation, sales prospecting, market research, local business data, and contact discovery. Run it on Apify for API access, scheduling, dataset exports, monitoring, and optional proxy configuration.

Features

• Search Google Maps with one or several queries in a single run.
• Collect unique businesses while scrolling through available results.
• Open business profiles and extract structured fields.
• Push normalized records continuously to an Apify Dataset.
• Optionally enrich businesses with emails and social media links from their websites.
• Use Apify dataset tools to download results as JSON, CSV, HTML, or Excel.

What Data Is Extracted

Each business record can include:

• Business name
• Google Place ID
• Canonical Google Maps URL
• Latitude and longitude
• Full address
• Business status
• Rating
• Primary category and category list
• Phone number
• Website

When website enrichment is enabled and a website is available, the actor can also return email addresses and social links for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube.

Use Cases

Find roofers in San Diego, plumbers in Miami, restaurants in Abuja, dentists in London, or other local businesses for outreach and research. Multiple queries are useful when you want to combine related searches, such as roofers in Florida and roofing contractors in Florida, while keeping one global result limit.

Input

Configure the actor in the Apify Input tab. The main fields are:

• searchQueries: a list of Google Maps search queries. Duplicate queries are removed.
• maxResults: maximum number of unique businesses pushed to the dataset across all queries.
• headless: runs Chromium in headless mode by default.
• maxNoNewScrollAttempts: stops a query after repeated scroll attempts produce no new unique businesses.
• websiteEnrichment: enables optional website email and social enrichment.
• proxySettings: optional native Apify Proxy Configuration. It is disabled by default.

Example input:

{
  "searchQueries": [
    "roofers in San Diego",
    "plumbers in Miami",
    "restaurants in Abuja"
  ],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "headless": true,
  "maxNoNewScrollAttempts": 3,
  "websiteEnrichment": true
}

maxResults means “up to this many unique businesses.” Google Maps may provide fewer results for a query or location, so the actor does not invent or duplicate records to reach the limit.

Website & Contact Enrichment

Website enrichment is optional and uses lightweight HTTP requests, not an additional browser session. When enabled, the actor fetches a business website when a website URL was found on Google Maps, extracts email addresses, and detects supported social profiles. Some websites block automated requests, require JavaScript, redirect unexpectedly, or expose no public contact details. Enrichment failures are logged and do not prevent the business record from being pushed.

Pricing / Cost Estimation

How much does it cost to scrape Google Maps? Cost depends mainly on browser runtime, result count, and optional website enrichment. Start with a small maxResults value to estimate a typical run, then adjust compute limits and enrichment settings. Apify accounts include free usage subject to current platform limits; check your Apify plan for the latest pricing and compute-unit details.
