Google Reviews Scraper - Business Ratings & Reviews

Scrape Google reviews for any business: review text, star rating, date, reviewer name and review count, and owner replies, plus each business's overall rating. Only $0.40 per 1,000 reviews, with no API key needed.

Enter a business name + location, a Google place ID or a CID. Every review comes back as a clean row for your spreadsheet, dashboard, sentiment model or AI agent. You can scrape up to 50 businesses in one bulk run, with no Google account or proxies.

What does Google Reviews Scraper do?

• Review text and star rating
• Review date: an exact timestamp plus Google's "time ago" label
• Owner reply: the business's public response, if it posted one
• Reviewer details: name, profile URL, review count, photo count and Local Guide status
• Review URL and the review's position in the sort order
• Business name and place ID on every row

Each business also gets a summary row with its overall rating and its total review count on Google.

Use cases

• Reputation monitoring: schedule runs sorted by newest to catch complaints early.
• Competitor analysis: compare ratings and recurring complaints across rival businesses.
• Sentiment analysis: feed review text into an NLP pipeline or LLM.
• Local SEO: audit review velocity and owner reply rates.
• Lead research: find businesses with low ratings or unanswered reviews.
• Automations: structured JSON for n8n, Make and AI agents.

   • a Google place ID (starts with ChIJ)
   • a CID (numeric Google Maps business ID)
2. Set Reviews per business, from 1 to 4,490 (the default is 100).
3. Pick an option in Sort reviews by: Newest (the default), Most relevant, Highest rating or Lowest rating.
4. Choose a Country and a two-letter Language code (the default is en).
5. Optional: set a Max budget (USD) cap and a Webhook URL that receives the run summary.
6. Click Start, then export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API.
