Google Maps Scraper — Extract Business Emails, Reviews & Contacts

Google Maps Scraper is an Apify actor that extracts business data — emails, phone numbers, reviews, images, and social links — from Google Maps. It returns 24 data fields per business at a flat $7 per 1,000 results, with emails, social links, reviews, and images all included at no extra charge. Drop-in replacement for compass/crawler-google-places.

How to Scrape Google Maps for Business Leads

• Flat $7 per 1,000 results — emails, social links, reviews, and images included, no add-on events (a comparable Compass scrape with emails runs ~$8 per 1,000 on Apify's pay-as-you-go plan; see pricing below)
• No subscription required — single all-in rate, not a tiered price that needs a paid Apify plan to unlock
• Fast — HTTP-first pipeline, no browser needed for basic scrapes (~1s per query)
• Deep email extraction — homepage + /contact + /about pages, with personal vs generic classification
• 24 data fields — more than any other scraper, including neighborhood, timezone, price level, and popular times
• Compass-compatible — same input field names, easy to switch
• Zero duplicates — deduplication by Google Maps place ID

Use Cases

• Lead generation — Build prospect lists with verified emails and phone numbers for any industry or location
• Local SEO monitoring — Track ratings, review counts, and ranking positions for your clients or competitors
• Market research — Analyze business density, pricing, and categories across geographic areas
• Sales prospecting — Find businesses without websites or with low ratings that need your services
• Real estate analysis — Map businesses around properties to assess neighborhood commercial activity
• Franchise expansion — Identify underserved markets by analyzing competitor locations and density

How Much Does It Cost to Scrape Google Maps?

$0.007 per result + $0.01 per GB of memory at run start (default 4 GB → $0.04/run). Emails, social links, reviews, and images are all included — one flat rate, no add-on events.

Comparison to Compass / crawler-google-places (Apify pay-as-you-go / Free plan, scraping the same data — places + details + contact emails):

On Apify's pay-as-you-go (Free) plan — what you pay with no paid subscription — a comparable Compass scrape with emails costs about $8 per 1,000, versus our flat $7 per 1,000. Our price is a single all-in rate that needs no subscription.

Note: Compass advertises "from $1.50 / 1,000," which is its base-place price on the Business subscription tier (95% discount) and excludes emails, details, reviews, and images. On paid Apify subscription tiers Compass's add-on prices drop and can fall below $7; our actor is a flat rate regardless of plan.

Proxy Configuration

Works without proxy for small runs. For 100+ results, configure a proxy:

// Apify managed proxy
{"provider":"apify","group":"RESIDENTIAL"}
// Bright Data
{"provider":"brightdata","username":"YOUR_USER","password":"YOUR_PASS","zone":"residential","country":"US"}
// Oxylabs
{"provider":"oxylabs","username":"YOUR_USER","password":"YOUR_PASS","proxy_type":"residential","country":"US"}
// SmartProxy
{"provider":"smartproxy","username":"YOUR_USER","password":"YOUR_PASS","proxy_type":"residential","country":"US"}
// Any proxy URL
{"provider":"raw_urls","urls":["http://user:pass@proxy.example.com:8080"]}

Cost Estimator

All costs include emails, social links, reviews, and images. No add-ons.

Error Handling

Failed places are logged but don't stop the run. You always get partial results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a proxy to scrape Google Maps? No for small runs (under 100 results). For larger scrapes, configure a residential proxy to avoid rate limits. See proxy config above.

How many Google Maps results can I scrape? ~120 per search query. Enable geo_split: true to automatically split large areas into a grid and scrape thousands of results.

Why did I get 0 (or fewer) results than expected? Most often a filter removed them. website, placeMinimumStars, and skipClosedPlaces are applied to every search and drop places that don't match:

• website: "withoutWebsite" keeps only places that have no website — businesses that do have a website are removed. (Set website: "allPlaces" for no filter.)
• placeMinimumStars drops anything rated below the threshold (places with no rating are dropped too).
• skipClosedPlaces: true drops permanently-closed businesses.

The run log tells you exactly what happened, e.g. Filter 'website=withoutWebsite' removed 2 place(s) and, if filters remove everything, a warning naming the active filters. Check the log and relax the filters if you expected results.

Is this cheaper than Compass / the standard Apify Google Maps scraper? On Apify's pay-as-you-go (Free) plan, yes for a scrape that includes emails: Compass charges $4 per 1,000 places + $2 details + $2 company-contacts enrichment ≈ $8 per 1,000, while this actor is a flat $7 per 1,000 with emails, social links, reviews, and images included. Compass's headline "$1.50 / 1,000" is its base-place price on a paid Business subscription and excludes emails. If you run a high-volume paid Apify subscription, Compass's discounted add-ons can drop below $7; this actor stays a flat rate with no subscription needed.

Why are some emails missing? Not all businesses list emails on their website. Service businesses (law firms, dentists, plumbers) typically have better email coverage than restaurants or retail shops.

How do I extract Google Maps reviews? Set maxReviews to any number greater than 0. Each review includes author name, star rating, review text, date, and owner response.

How fast is the Google Maps scraper? Basic data: ~1s per query. With email extraction: ~5s per business. With reviews and images: slower (requires browser rendering).

Can I cache Google Maps data between runs? Yes. Set cache_provider: "apify" to reuse detail page data across runs. Only places that changed get re-scraped.
