Google Maps Leads Extractor — Business Contact Details at Scale

Extract business leads from Google Maps — name, address, phone, website, email, social media, rating, reviews, opening hours, and GPS coordinates. Search by keyword + location, or scrape specific Google Maps URLs. Built for sales teams, marketing agencies, and AI agents.

Cheaper than Google Places API. More data than free alternatives. Pay per lead.

What does it do?

Enter a search query like "restaurants in New York" or "plumber in Chicago" and the actor will:

1. Open Google Maps and search for businesses matching your query
2. Scroll through results to load all available businesses (up to 500)
3. Click each business to extract full details: name, address, phone, website, rating, reviews, hours, GPS coordinates
4. Optionally visit each business website to find email addresses and social media links
5. Return everything as clean, structured JSON — ready for your CRM, outreach tool, or AI pipeline

No API keys. No complex setup. Just enter your search query and get leads.

Why use this over alternatives?

Feature	Google Places API	Free Scrapers (20K+ users)	This Actor
Price	$17/1K requests	Free (compute only)	$5/1K leads (PPE)
Email extraction	No	No	Yes (from business websites)

Phone numbers	Yes (limited)	Sometimes	Yes
Opening hours	Basic	Basic	Full schedule

Setup time	API key + billing account	5 min	5 min
Address parsing	Raw string	Raw string	City, state, ZIP auto-parsed
Rate limits	Strict quotas	None	Managed concurrency

vs. Google Places API ($17/1K requests)

Google Places API costs $17 per 1,000 requests and requires API keys, billing accounts, and quota management. It does NOT include email addresses or social media links. This actor extracts more data at a lower cost — $5 per 1,000 leads including email and social — with zero setup.

vs. Free Google Maps scrapers on Apify Store

The most popular Google Maps scraper (compass/crawler-google-places, 20K+ monthly users) is free but only charges for platform compute. However:

• It does not extract emails from business websites
• It does not find social media links (Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
• It is not MCP/AI compatible (no PPE pricing = AI agents cannot pay per task)
• It cannot be called on-demand by AI agents

This actor adds the data that matters most for lead generation: email + phone + social media + PPE pricing.

vs. Manual research

A human researcher can find ~20 leads per hour manually. This actor extracts 50-100 leads per minute with full contact details. That is 3,000x faster than manual research.

Features

• Search Google Maps by keyword + location (e.g., "plumber in Chicago IL")
• Scrape specific Google Maps place URLs directly
• Extract 20+ fields per business
• Email extraction — visits business websites to find contact email addresses
• Social media discovery — finds Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok
• Address parsing — automatically extracts city, state, ZIP code, country
• GPS coordinates — latitude and longitude for every business
• Auto-scroll pagination to load all search results
• Deduplication — no duplicate leads in output
• Concurrent scraping with configurable parallelism (1-10 pages)
• PPE pricing — pay only for successfully extracted leads
• First 100 leads free to evaluate

Market research and site selection

Map business density by category and location. Analyze pricing patterns, rating distributions, and competitive landscapes across different cities and neighborhoods.

Data enrichment

Start with a list of business names or Google Maps URLs. Get full contact details including email, phone, social media profiles, and GPS coordinates.

Real estate and commercial analysis

Find businesses near a property address. Analyze neighborhood commercial activity, foot traffic indicators (review counts), and business mix for real estate investment decisions.

FAQ

Does it extract email addresses?

Yes. When extractEmails is enabled (default), the actor visits each business website and searches the HTML for email addresses. It automatically filters junk emails (noreply@, support@google, etc.) and returns the most likely contact email. Email extraction works for approximately 30-50% of businesses — many small businesses do not display email addresses on their websites.

How many leads can I get per search query?

Up to 500 per query. Google Maps typically shows 60-120 results for most local searches. The actor scrolls automatically to load all available results. For maximum coverage, use multiple specific queries rather than one broad query.

Does it work outside the US?

Yes. Google Maps works globally. Set the language parameter to match your target market (e.g., "de" for Germany, "ja" for Japan, "pt" for Brazil). Address parsing is optimized for US addresses but works partially for international formats.

How fast is it?

With default settings, the actor extracts approximately 20-50 leads per minute. Email extraction adds 1-3 seconds per lead (each business website must be loaded). Disable extractEmails and extractSocialMedia for the fastest extraction (Google Maps data only).

What social media platforms does it detect?

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok. The actor scans business website HTML for links to these platforms.

Can I export results to my CRM?

Yes. Download as CSV/JSON from Apify Console, or use Zapier/Make integrations to push leads directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or any CRM that accepts webhooks.

Is the data real-time?

Yes. The actor loads Google Maps in a real browser and extracts data live. There is no cache — you always get the latest information from Google Maps.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. Set up a Schedule in Apify Console to run the actor daily, weekly, or on any custom interval. Perfect for monitoring new businesses in your target areas.

Does it handle Google CAPTCHAs?

The actor runs from Apify servers without proxy for maximum compatibility. For very high-volume extractions (1000+ leads in a single run), Google may occasionally show CAPTCHAs. Use residential proxies in the proxyConfiguration input for better success rates at scale.

Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Cause: Search query may be too specific, or Google Maps has no results for that location
• Fix: Try a broader query. Use city names instead of neighborhoods. Example: "restaurant in New York" instead of "restaurant on 5th Avenue"

Missing phone numbers or addresses

• Cause: Some businesses have incomplete Google Maps profiles
• Fix: This is expected. Not all businesses list phone numbers or complete addresses on Google Maps. The actor extracts whatever data is available.

Email extraction returns null for most leads

• Cause: Many small businesses do not display email addresses on their websites, or do not have websites at all
• Fix: This is normal. Email extraction typically finds valid emails for 30-50% of businesses. For higher email coverage, consider using a dedicated email finder service on the extracted website URLs.

Only 3-5 results when requesting more

• Cause: The back-navigation between place details and search results may not always return to the correct position in the list
• Fix: Run multiple queries with different keywords or locations to cover more businesses. This is a known limitation being improved.

Slow extraction speed

• Cause: Email and social media extraction visits each business website, adding 1-3 seconds per lead
• Fix: Set extractEmails: false and extractSocialMedia: false for Google Maps data only — this is 3-5x faster

Limitations

• Maximum 500 results per search query (Google Maps pagination limit)
• Google may show CAPTCHAs for very high-volume extractions — residential proxies recommended for 1000+ leads
• Email extraction depends on businesses having websites with visible email addresses (~30-50% coverage)
• Social media links are only found if they appear on the business website HTML
• Address parsing is optimized for US addresses; international formats parse partially
• Opening hours format varies by region and may not always be available
• Some business categories have limited coverage in certain regions
• Back-navigation between results can sometimes skip items (improving in v1.1)
