Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### 🚀 Local Services Ads & Google Verified Monitor Monitor Google local-service search results at scale. The **Local Services Ads & Google Verified Monitor** captures Local Services Ads (LSA), Google Verified / Google Guaranteed badges, local pack rankings, ratings, reviews, phone numbers, and websites for any high-intent local query — built for local SEO agencies, home-services marketers, law firm marketing agencies, and reputation management vendors. ### ✨ Features - 🛡️ **LSA & Verified Badge Detection** — Detects Local Services Ads, Google Guaranteed, and Google Screened badges so you know who Google is currently endorsing in your market. - 🥇 **Local Pack Rankings** — Captures the 3-pack with continuous position numbering across paginated SERPs, so you can track rank movement over time. - ⭐ **Ratings & Reviews** — Parses star ratings and review counts from both organic and local-pack cards (handles `4.7 (2.9K)` and `Rated 4.5 out of 5, (1,809) user reviews` formats). - 📞 **Contact Info** — Extracts phone numbers and websites where Google surfaces them on the SERP card. - 📑 **Multi-Page Pagination** — Crawl up to 10 pages of organic results per query with continuous position numbering and a global per-query result cap. - 🌍 **Geo & Device Targeting** — Choose country, language, and desktop or mobile device profile to mirror exactly what your customers see. - 🛰️ **Residential Proxy Ready** — Defaults to Apify's residential proxy pool to dodge Google's anti-bot defenses. ### 🛠️ How It Works 1. **Enter Search Queries** — Provide a list of local-service queries like `plumbers in Austin` or `personal injury lawyer in Miami`. 2. **Pick Geo & Device** — Optionally set the country, language, and device profile. The Actor mirrors what a real searcher in that location sees. 3. **Run the Scraper** — Start the run. The Actor fetches each Google SERP via Playwright with residential proxies, parses every business surface (LSA, local pack, sponsored, organic), and pushes structured records to the dataset. ### 📥 Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `searchQueries` | `string[]` | ✅ | — | Local-service search queries to monitor (e.g. `plumbers in Austin`). | | `location` | `string` | — | — | Optional location to bias results toward; merged into the query if it isn't already there. | | `language` | `string` | — | `"en"` | Google interface language code (`en`, `de`, `pl`, …). | | `countryCode` | `string` | — | `"us"` | Google country code for geolocation (`us`, `gb`, `pl`, …). | | `device` | `"desktop"` \| `"mobile"` | — | `"desktop"` | Device profile to emulate. Affects which surfaces Google renders. | | `maxResultsPerQuery` | `integer` | — | `20` | Global cap on records per query across all paginated pages. Range 1–200. | | `maxPages` | `integer` | — | `3` | How many Google pages to crawl per query (10 results per page). Range 1–10. | | `proxyConfiguration` | `object` | — | Apify residential | Proxy settings. Residential is strongly recommended — Google blocks datacenter IPs aggressively. | #### Sample Input ```json { "searchQueries": ["plumbers in Austin", "personal injury lawyer in Miami"], "language": "en", "countryCode": "us", "device": "desktop", "maxResultsPerQuery": 30, "maxPages": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` ### 📊 Sample Output Data The scraper produces one row per business, with continuous `position` numbering across all pages of a query. Example: ```json [ { "query": "plumbers in Austin", "language": "en", "countryCode": "us", "device": "desktop", "surface": "google_search", "businessType": "local_pack", "pageIndex": 0, "position": 1, "name": "Reliant Plumbing", "isSponsored": false, "isVerified": false, "verifiedLabel": null, "isGoogleGuaranteed": false, "rating": 4.7, "reviewCount": 2900, "phone": "(512) 222-6029", "website": "https://reliantplumbing.com/", "address": null, "profileUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/reserve/appt/place/...", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-09T07:39:08.401Z" }, { "query": "personal injury lawyer in Miami", "language": "en", "countryCode": "us", "device": "desktop", "surface": "google_search", "businessType": "sponsored", "pageIndex": 0, "position": 4, "name": "Miami Personal Injury Lawyers", "isSponsored": true, "isVerified": false, "verifiedLabel": null, "isGoogleGuaranteed": false, "rating": null, "reviewCount": null, "phone": null, "website": "https://www.jasonturchin.com/practice-areas/personal-injury/", "address": null, "profileUrl": null, "scrapedAt": "2026-05-09T07:39:08.401Z" } ] ``` `businessType` is one of `lsa`, `local_pack`, `sponsored`, or `organic_local`, letting you slice the dataset by surface — paid vs. organic, verified vs. unverified, etc. Track competitor visibility, monitor LSA placements, and audit Google Verified coverage across your local markets with the **Local Services Ads & Google Verified Monitor** today! 🚀 # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Local-service search queries to monitor. Examples: 'plumbers in Austin', 'roof repair in Chicago', 'personal injury lawyer in Miami'. ## `location` (type: `string`): Optional location to bias results toward. If a query already contains a location, this is used as a fallback. ## `language` (type: `string`): Google interface language code (e.g. 'en', 'de', 'pl'). ## `countryCode` (type: `string`): Google country code for geolocation (e.g. 'us', 'gb', 'pl'). ## `device` (type: `string`): Device profile to emulate. Affects user agent and which surfaces Google renders. ## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Global cap on business records returned per query (across all paginated pages). Once reached, remaining pages of that query are skipped. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): How many Google search pages to crawl per query (10 results per page). Page 1 typically contains Local Services Ads, the local 3-pack, and organic results; later pages are organic only. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Residential proxies are strongly recommended — Google aggressively blocks datacenter IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "plumbers in Austin", "roof repair in Chicago" ], "language": "en", "countryCode": "us", "device": "desktop", "maxResultsPerQuery": 20, "maxPages": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description ## `summaries` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
