Use cases

• Sales prospecting — Build targeted outreach lists by industry and city in minutes.
• Local SEO auditing — Analyse competitor ratings, review counts, and web presence in any area.
• Market research — Map business density, rating distribution, and category breakdown across locations.

• Cold email / cold call lists — Generate phone and website data for outbound campaigns.

How it works

1. The actor opens Google Maps with your search query using a headless Chromium browser.
2. It scrolls the results panel automatically to load all listings up to your maxResults limit.
3. For each business, it opens the listing page and extracts all available contact and rating data.
4. Results are pushed to an Apify dataset in real time — export as JSON or CSV at any point.

Tips for best results

• Be specific with location — "dentists in Central London" gives tighter results than "dentists in UK".
• Google Maps typically shows 20 results per area — for more, try splitting into neighbourhoods or districts.
• Enable proxy only if you encounter empty results or blocks on large runs.
• Phone and website fields may be empty for businesses that haven't filled in their Google listing.

Limitations

• Google Maps shows a maximum of ~120 results per search query regardless of maxResults.
• Some businesses may not have a phone number or website listed on Google Maps.
• Google may update its page structure at any time, which could affect extraction accuracy.
