Google Maps Scraper — Fast & Cheap

Extract local businesses from Google Maps by keyword + location and get clean, structured data ready for lead generation, market research, local SEO, and business directories.

No Google API key required. Pay only for unique businesses returned.

Why use this Actor?

• Fast result extraction — designed to collect Google Maps search results without opening every place detail page.
• Pay per result — one charge per unique business successfully written to the Dataset.
• No duplicate charges — duplicate businesses, retries, failed requests, and empty results are not charged.
• Lead-ready fields — names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, review counts, coordinates, opening hours, Place IDs, and more.
• Automatic deduplication — duplicate businesses across search results are filtered before output.
• No Google API key — enter your searches, location, and result limit and run.
• Reliable production access — production runs use residential proxy infrastructure for Google Maps reliability.

A recent production benchmark returned 100 unique businesses in about 41 seconds with 0 query failures.

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing.

A place event is charged only when a unique business is successfully written to the Dataset. Duplicate results, retries, failed requests, and empty searches are not charged.

Limits and behavior

• Maximum maxResults: 1000
• Results depend on what Google Maps makes available for the selected query and location.
• Some public fields may be unavailable for individual businesses.
• A transient query failure is retried once with a fresh residential proxy session.
• If one query fails permanently, successful results from other queries remain available.
