Google Maps Email Extractor: Scrape Business Emails from Google Maps

From $1.50 / 1,000 saved email leads on paid Apify plans. Use this Google Maps Email Extractor to find public business emails from Google Maps places, together with websites, phone numbers, social media links, ratings, addresses, coordinates, Google Place IDs, CIDs, and source URLs.

The actor is built for Google Maps lead generation. It searches Google Maps by keyword and location, Google Maps URL, Place ID, or selected map area, opens each business website, checks likely contact pages, and saves one dataset item when a public email address is found by default.

Unlike a generic Google Maps scraper, this actor is optimized around email leads: it scans more Google Maps candidates internally when needed, enriches places with fast Google Maps detail payloads to get websites, crawls business sites concurrently, and charges the primary result event only for saved email leads.

At a glance

Need	Use this actor for
Local email leads	Public business emails from Google Maps places
Sales outreach	Company name, website, email, phone, address, rating, category, and social links
Agency prospecting	Niche and city lead lists such as dentists, roofers, lawyers, photographers, gyms, clinics, restaurants, and contractors
CRM enrichment	Start from Google Maps URLs, Place IDs, or existing Google business records
Local SEO research	Find competitors with websites, reviews, categories, coordinates, and public contact channels
Data export	Download leads as JSON, CSV, Excel, or use the Apify Dataset API

Quick start

1. Add a business type to searchStringsArray, for example wedding photographer, dentist, roofing contractor, or real estate agent.
2. Add a specific locationQuery, for example Austin, Texas, USA.
3. Set maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch to the number of email leads you want.
4. Keep contactResultMode as emailsOnly to save only places where a public email is found.
5. Run the actor and export the dataset from Apify.

{
  "searchStringsArray": ["wedding photographer"],
  "locationQuery": "Austin, Texas, USA",
  "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 100,
  "contactResultMode": "emailsOnly",
  "contactPagesLimit": 2,
  "includePersonalData": true,
  "website": "withWebsite",
  "skipClosedPlaces": true,
  "language": "en"
}

Pricing

The actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing. The primary event is contact-lead-saved, which is charged when a lead is saved to the dataset.

Event	Free	Paid plans
Saved email lead	$3.00 / 1,000 saved email leads	$1.50 / 1,000 saved email leads
Add-on: filter applied	$0.80 / 1,000 saved leads	$0.35 / 1,000 saved leads
Actor start	$0.00005 per start event	$0.00001 per start event

Internal Google Maps candidate scanning, fast place-detail lookup, and website pages that do not produce a saved lead are not charged as primary result events.

The actor respects Apify maxTotalChargeUsd. If your run budget only allows 500 saved email leads, the actor stops before saving more than 500 charged leads and finishes successfully with a RUN_SUMMARY.

Input options

Search terms and location

Use searchStringsArray with locationQuery for standard Google Maps email extraction.

{
  "searchStringsArray": ["dentist"],
  "locationQuery": "Phoenix, Arizona, USA",
  "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 250,
  "contactResultMode": "emailsOnly",
  "language": "en"
}

Field	What it does
searchStringsArray	One or more Google Maps search terms, such as dentist, roofing contractor, yoga studio, or restaurant.
locationQuery	Search area for all terms, such as Phoenix, Arizona, USA or Berlin, Germany. Use one concrete area per run for cleaner leads.
maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch	Target number of saved leads per search term or URL. In emailsOnly mode, the actor may scan more candidates internally to find enough public emails.
language	Google Maps language code used for localized place data when Google provides it.

Google Maps URLs and Place IDs

Use startUrls when you already have Google Maps URLs. Use placeIds when another system stores Google Place IDs.

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.google.com/maps/search/marketing+agency+near+Chicago,+IL"
    }
  ],
  "placeIds": ["ChIJ..."],
  "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 50,
  "contactResultMode": "emailsOnly"
}

Field	What it accepts
startUrls	Google Maps search URLs, place URLs, CID URLs, and prepared Google Maps links
placeIds	Google Place IDs and compatible values prefixed with place_id:

Direct place URLs and Place IDs are useful for CRM enrichment. Search URLs are useful when you prepared Google Maps queries outside Apify.

Contact result mode

Mode	Saved dataset items
emailsOnly	Only places where at least one public email was found. This is the default.
contactsOnly	Places with at least one email, phone, or social profile.
allPlaces	All scanned places after filters, with contact fields when available.

Use emailsOnly for priced email lead generation. Use contactsOnly when phone numbers and social links are also acceptable lead signals.

Website pages to check

contactPagesLimit controls how many pages the actor fetches from each business website.

Value	Typical behavior
1	Fastest. Checks the homepage only.
2	Recommended default. Checks the homepage and the best contact/about page.
3-5	Deeper search for niches where emails are usually hidden on team, staff, imprint, footer, or legal pages.

The actor follows likely same-domain contact links such as contact, about, team, staff, imprint, footer, privacy, and legal pages. Higher values can find more emails but increase runtime.

Personal data toggle

includePersonalData controls person-like emails and personal LinkedIn profile URLs found on public business websites.

{
  "includePersonalData": false
}

Set it to false when you want mostly generic company contacts such as info@, sales@, hello@, office@, or contact@.

Filters and categories

Use filters to narrow results before contact extraction.

Field	Values
placeCategories	Predefined Google Business Profile categories
customPlaceCategories	Custom category text matched against categoryName and categories
categoryFilterWords	Keyword filter matched against categories
searchMatching	all, only_includes, or only_exact
minStars	Minimum Google rating
website	allPlaces, withWebsite, or withoutWebsite
skipClosedPlaces	Remove closed businesses when Google exposes the status

For email extraction, website: "withWebsite" is recommended because public emails are usually found on the business website.

Search area options

For broader or custom geography, use:

• countryCode
• city
• state
• county
• postalCode
• customGeolocation
• locationBounds
• strictLocationBounds

The free-text locationQuery has priority when provided. Use structured fields or custom map areas when you need more control over coverage.

How it works

1. The actor builds Google Maps search sources from keywords, location, URLs, Place IDs, or map area.
2. Base discovery uses fast Google Maps payload responses to collect candidate places.
3. In email extraction mode, the actor scans extra candidates internally because not every business publishes an email.
4. A fast Google Maps detail request enriches each candidate with website and place metadata.
5. The website contact crawler fetches the homepage and likely contact pages.
6. Emails, phones, and social profiles are normalized and merged into the place record.
7. The actor saves only records that match contactResultMode.
8. RUN_SUMMARY records target, saved count, budget guard, enrichment stats, and exhaustion reason.

Output fields explained

Field	Description
emails	Deduplicated public email addresses found for the business
emailDetails	Per-email metadata with classification, source page, and domain match
contactSignals	Counts for emails, phones, social profiles, website, and fetched pages
additionalInfo.companyContacts	Raw contact crawl details, including fetched URLs and extracted contact data
contactStatus	found when a saved record has contact data
url	Google Maps URL for the place

Run summary

Every run writes diagnostics to RUN_SUMMARY in the default key-value store.

Useful fields:

Field	Meaning
target	Requested saved leads
saved	Saved dataset items
targetReached	Whether the requested saved lead count was reached
exhaustionReason	Why the run stopped, such as target_reached, frontier_exhausted, or charge_limit_reached
datasetItemBudget	Pay-per-event budget guard and remaining item estimate
enrichment.detailHttpSucceeded	Fast Google Maps detail lookups that succeeded
enrichment.contactsSucceeded	Website contact crawls that produced contact data
enrichment.contactPagesFetched	Website pages fetched during contact extraction
enrichment.filteredBeforePush	Candidates skipped because they did not match contactResultMode

If a selected niche or area has fewer public emails than requested, the actor finishes successfully and saves the email leads it found.

API usage

Start a run through the Apify API:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/x_guru~google-maps-email-extractor/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "searchStringsArray": ["roofing contractor"],
    "locationQuery": "Dallas, Texas, USA",
    "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 100,
    "contactResultMode": "emailsOnly",
    "contactPagesLimit": 2,
    "includePersonalData": true,
    "website": "withWebsite",
    "skipClosedPlaces": true,
    "language": "en"
  }'

After the run finishes, export the default dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML from Apify Console or through the Dataset API.

Tips for better email lead results

• Use specific niches: orthodontist, commercial electrician, wedding photographer, HVAC contractor, or estate planning attorney.
• Use one concrete location per run: city, metro area, postal code, county, or custom map area.
• Keep website set to withWebsite for email extraction.
• Increase contactPagesLimit for industries where emails are often on team, staff, imprint, or legal pages.
• Use category filters when a search term returns mixed businesses.
• Use contactsOnly when phone and social profile leads are acceptable.
• Set maxTotalChargeUsd on Apify runs when you want a hard spending cap.

Notes

• Public website contacts are best-effort because each business controls what it publishes.
• Some businesses publish only contact forms, booking widgets, or social profiles instead of direct emails.
• emailsOnly can scan more Google Maps places internally than the requested saved lead count.
• The run finishes successfully even when individual places or websites fail; diagnostics are saved in RUN_SUMMARY.
• For broad geographic coverage, use a concrete city, postal code, county, state, or custom map area.
