Google Maps Scraper — Business Leads, Phones & Websites

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 · Pay only for unique businesses · Phones, websites, ratings, hours & Place IDs

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.

Ready-made workflows

Common runs are simple:

• Local lead list — dentists, plumbers, agencies, lawyers, salons, or any other category in a city
• Competitor research — find nearby businesses in the same niche
• Local SEO research — compare ratings, review counts, websites, and categories
• Territory research — build a business list for a city or region
• Directory building — export structured public business records with Place IDs and coordinates

}

Common use cases

• Local lead generation
• Local SEO research
• Competitor discovery
• Building business directories
• Market and territory research
• Finding businesses with websites or phone numbers
• Location-based prospect lists

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing. The current Store price is shown in Apify's Pricing tab.

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. The public Store currently lists the Actor from $1.29 per 1,000 business results.

Runtime and memory

This Actor launches a real Chromium browser. Configure at least 512 MB of Actor memory for production and Store default tasks. A 256 MB allocation is not a supported operating point and can fail during browser startup or Maps page loading; increasing memory beyond the measured requirement is not needed just for show.

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.

Responsible use

Use this Actor only for lawful and proportionate collection of public business information. Follow applicable privacy, marketing, and data-protection laws, and respect recipients' communication preferences.
