Google Maps Advanced Search Scraper

Scrape Google Maps business listings from a precise map area using a search query, coordinates, and zoom level. This actor is built for local lead generation, competitor monitoring, territory research, and workflows where you need results tied to a specific latitude, longitude, and map zoom instead of a broad city-level search.

Use it when you need Google Maps results for a tight geographic area, a neighborhood, a sales territory, or a coordinate-defined map viewport.

What It Does

• Searches Google Maps for businesses by keyword, category, or service.
• Targets results with optional latitude and longitude center coordinates.
• Controls local precision with Google Maps-style zoom levels from broad area to street-level focus.
• Supports result limits for quick samples or larger lead lists.
• Returns business names, ratings, reviews, addresses, websites, phones, coordinates, business types, hours, status, and sample photos when available.
• Supports language and region targeting with hl and gl.

Common Use Cases

• Find "restaurants", "coffee shops", "dentists", "plumbers", or other businesses around exact coordinates.
• Scrape Google Maps leads inside a neighborhood, shopping district, downtown area, or delivery zone.
• Compare competitors around store locations, franchise territories, hotels, campuses, or event venues.
• Build coordinate-based local business datasets for sales prospecting, market mapping, and location intelligence.
• Run bounds-focused Google Maps research by choosing a center point and zoom level for each target area.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
query	string	Yes	Business, category, or service to search for, such as coffee shops, restaurants, or dentists.
zoom	integer	Yes	Map zoom level from 3 to 21. Lower values cover a wider area; higher values target a smaller, more precise area.
latitude	number	No	Center latitude for the search area. If omitted, location may be resolved from the query.
longitude	number	No	Center longitude for the search area. If omitted, location may be resolved from the query.
limit	integer	No	Maximum number of results to return.
hl	string	No	Google language code, such as en, de, es, or fr. Defaults to en.
gl	string	No	Google region code, such as us, de, fr, or uk.

Example Input

{
  "query": "coffee shops",
  "latitude": 40.758,
  "longitude": -73.9855,
  "zoom": 15,
  "limit": 50,
  "hl": "en",
  "gl": "us"
}

Output

The actor saves matching businesses to the default dataset. Each result can include:

• name
• business_id
• place_id
• rating
• review_count
• price_level
• website
• domain
• phone_numbers
• full_address
• district
• latitude
• longitude
• subtypes
• type
• short_description
• opening_hours
• current_status
• photos_sample

Example Output

{
  "name": "Example Coffee",
  "business_id": "0x89c259...",
  "place_id": "ChIJ...",
  "rating": 4.6,
  "review_count": 842,
  "website": "https://example.com",
  "phone_numbers": ["+1 212-555-0100"],
  "full_address": "123 Example Ave, New York, NY 10036",
  "latitude": 40.7581,
  "longitude": -73.9856,
  "subtypes": ["Coffee shop"],
  "current_status": "Open"
}

Tips For Coordinate And Bounds-Based Searches

• Use latitude and longitude when you need results around an exact point.
• Use higher zoom levels, such as 15 to 18, for neighborhood or street-level searches.
• Use lower zoom levels, such as 10 to 14, for city or metro-area discovery.
• For grid or bounds workflows, split your target region into center points and run the actor once per coordinate with the zoom level that matches your desired coverage.
• Include location words in query only when you want Google to interpret a named place; otherwise use coordinates for cleaner area targeting.
