📍 Google Business Search & Lead Extractor

Search Google for businesses and extract high-quality B2B leads instantly. Collects clean website URLs, phone numbers, ratings, and unique Google IDs (CID). Optimized for high-speed search and low usage cost.

🚀 Why choose this extractor?

Unlike other scrapers that rely on fragile CSS classes, this Actor uses ARIA-first selection and Direct CID Extraction. This means it stays working even when Google updates its layout.

Key Data Extracted (Businesses):

Field	Description
Business Name	Official name of the business.
Website	Clean, direct URL (we bypass Google's redirect tracking).
Phone	Verified phone number.
Address	Full physical address.
Category	Primary business category (e.g., Plumber, Marketing Agency).
Rating & Reviews	Average stars and total review count.
Coordinates	High-precision Latitude and Longitude.
Plus Code	Global location code for precise mapping.
Price Level	Indicators like $, $$, or $$$ (if available).
Claimed Status	Tells you if the business has verified their Google profile.
Closed Status	Detects if a business is temporarily or permanently closed.
Business ID / CID	A unique 12-char identifier or Google CID to link reviews perfectly to this business.

Deep Review Extraction (Optional)

If you enable review extraction in the settings, the Actor outputs each review as an entirely separate row/dataset item, perfectly structured for Pay-Per-Result scaling and database imports. It extracts:

• Reviewer Name
• Rating
• Full Text (automatically expands long text walls)
• Publish Date

💡 Pro Tips

• Proxies: We highly recommend using Apify Residential Proxies to avoid being blocked by Google.
• Accuracy: For the most accurate location data, use specific search queries like Marketing Agencies in Austin, TX.
• Speed: You can increase the "Max Parallel Tabs" in Advanced Settings to speed up the process if you have enough proxy capacity.
