## What are the limits of scraping reviews from Google Maps?
We recommend using Number of reviews field to limit the number of reviews to scrape. You don't usually need more then 1000 (or less) reviews.
Google tends to push reviews with text and pictures to the top so they are usually among the first ones to be scraped. 
Large number of reviews from one place are also more difficult to scrape and the run can be potentially more expensive.
