Google Places Scraper - Local Businesses, Ratings & Phones

Scrape Google's local business results for any query and location - names, ratings, phones and websites. Scrape Google local business results for any list of queries and export them as CSV, JSON or Excel - with country (gl), language (hl) and date-range filters and pagination. No proxies, no CAPTCHAs, no browser to babysit: every request goes through a hosted Google API, so results are fast and complete.

⭐ $1.99 / 1,000 places · bulk queries · country + language + date filters · pagination · pay only per row · CSV/JSON/Excel · API & MCP ready.

What data does it extract?

One row per result with: title, address, latitude, longitude, rating, ratingCount, category, phoneNumber, website, cid, position - plus the query, page and result type each row came from, so multi-query exports stay separable. Everything Google returns for the item is passed through, so new fields appear automatically.

Get emails and social profiles for every business

Google shows a business's phone and website, but not its email. Turn on Get emails and social profiles and the Actor visits each business website and adds:

Field	Description
email, emails	The best email address, and every address found, the business's own domain first
facebook, instagram, linkedin, twitter, youtube, tiktok, pinterest, whatsapp, telegram	Links to the business's social profiles
websitePhones	Extra phone numbers from the site's call links
contactStatus	email_found, social_only, none, unreachable, no_website or website_is_social

It reads the home page and the contact, imprint or about page, including addresses hidden by Cloudflare email protection or written as name [at] domain [dot] com. This turns a list of places into a Google Maps email extractor: a lead list you can contact.

You pay for this only when it works. A business is charged the contact rate when the website scan finds an email address. Social profiles and phone numbers found without an email are free, and so are businesses with no website, an unreachable site, or nothing to find.

Why choose this scraper

• 💸 Cheap - a flat $1.99 / 1,000 places, billed per row delivered. A query that returns nothing costs nothing.
• 🌍 Localised - gl (country) and hl (language) give you the results a real user in that market sees; dateRange restricts to the past hour, day, week, month or year.
• 📦 Bulk & deep - up to 1,000 queries per run, maxPages to go deeper.
• ⚡ Reliable - no proxies, no CAPTCHAs, no rate-limit roulette; results come from a hosted Google search API.
• 🔌 Automate - Apify API, MCP server, schedules, Make, Zapier, n8n.

• 1,000 places, place data only → $1.99
• 1,000 places with contacts found for 400 of them → $2.79

Only delivered rows are billed; queries that error or return nothing cost nothing. The contact rate applies only with Get emails and social profiles on, and only to places where an email was found.

FAQ

Does it find email addresses? Yes, when you turn on Get emails and social profiles. The Actor scans each business website for emails and social links. Expect an email for roughly a third to a half of businesses that have a website; many small businesses only offer a contact form.

Why does a business have no email? It has no website on Google, the site could not be reached, or the site does not publish an address. contactStatus tells you which. None of those cases is charged the contact rate, even when social profiles were found.

Is scraping Google Maps legal? This is general information, not legal advice. The Actor collects business listings that Google shows publicly, and contact details that businesses publish on their own websites. Business contact data can still be personal data under laws such as GDPR when it identifies a person, and email marketing is regulated in most countries. Collect only what you need, follow the rules for cold outreach where your recipients are, and ask a lawyer before building a commercial product on the data.

Do I need proxies or a Google account? No. Requests go through a hosted Google search API - nothing to configure.

Can I get localised results? Yes - set gl for the country and hl for the language, exactly as a user in that market would see them.

How do I limit to recent results? Set dateRange to qdr:d (past 24h), qdr:w, qdr:m or qdr:y.

How many results per query? Google's own limit applies; use maxPages to page deeper.

Can I schedule it? Yes - Apify schedules, the API, or the MCP server.
