Type what and where. Add more keywords or cities and each one is searched. 2. Every neighborhood is searched. Google Maps only shows 200 results per search. The scraper goes through the area piece by piece, so you get every business, not just the first 200. 3. Keep only the leads you want. Businesses you filter out are free. 4. Download your list. As a spreadsheet, in Google Sheets, or into HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive. ## Use cases - Sales prospecting: Local businesses of one type across your cities, with phone numbers, websites and emails for outreach. - Finding clients for an agency: Businesses without a website, with a low rating or with an unclaimed profile, which are the ones most likely to need help. - Market sizing: Every business of a type in a city with its rating and review count, to size a market or spot the gaps. - Local SEO: Categories, claimed status and review counts for the businesses that rank in your area. ## Good to know The search area is a rectangle around the location, so towns at its edges can appear too: narrow the list with the city or postcode column. Emails come from the businesses' own websites, so expect them for part of the places. They are checked for junk but not verified with a mail server. ## Questions ### Is it legal to scrape Google Maps? The scraper collects only public business information that Google Maps shows to visitors who are not logged in. Some of it can still be personal data, such as a sole trader's name, phone number or email, the owners and managing directors named in company details, reviewers' names, or the names of the people who posted photos (with Photo authors on). Personal data is protected by laws such as the GDPR in the EU, so make sure you have a lawful reason to collect and use it, especially for cold outreach. If in doubt, ask a lawyer. ### Do I need a Google account or a Google Maps API key? No. You don't need a Google account, a login, cookies or a Places API key, and there is nothing to set up. ### How many places can I get? As many as Google Maps has for your search in the area. A single Google Maps search stops at 200 places, but the scraper searches a large area piece by piece, so a city-wide search goes well beyond that. For a whole country, list its cities or regions as locations. ### How do I keep my first run small and cheap? Set 🛑 Max places in total (for example 50): the run stops there, whatever else you set. 💯 Max places per search limits each search term in each location. Filters are free and places they leave out are not charged, so filtering early (with a website, at least 4 stars, a category) also lowers the cost. Paid options are marked ($) in the form: emails and social profiles, reviews, place details and photos. Emails are charged only for places whose website gave something. ### Can I search several keywords or cities at once? Yes. Each search term is searched in each location, and a place that several searches find appears once. ### Can I get every business in an area, not just one type? Yes. Tick Every place in the locations and type the locations; search terms can stay empty. You get every business in the area, each once: shops, offices, clinics, restaurants, schools, parks and the rest. A whole city holds tens of thousands of places: start with a district or postal code, or set Max places per search. ### Can I search around an address, or in an area I draw? Yes. Type an address or coordinates in Near and a distance in Radius to get every matching place within that circle, such as all dentists within 3 km of your office. For any other shape, a sales territory, a delivery zone or a district Google has no name for, draw it at geojson.io, copy the GeoJSON and paste it into Custom area: ``json { "searchTerms": ["plumber"], "customArea": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-97.76, 30.25], [-97.72, 30.25], [-97.72, 30.29], [-97.76, 30.29], [-97.76, 30.25]]]} } ` Each polygon of a MultiPolygon or FeatureCollection is searched as its own area. You get only the places inside the shape and pay only for those, unless you turn off Only places inside the location: they are then kept with in_location` set to false. Areas work with search terms, categories and Every place in the locations. ### Can I pick exact Google Maps categories? Yes. Pick them in Categories, from Google's own list of about 4,000. A search for dentist with Orthodontist and Pediatric dentist picked keeps only those specialists. Pick categories with no search term and each one is searched by its name, or turn on Every place in the locations as well to go through every place in the area and keep the ones with those categories. A place lists up to about ten categories, and it is kept when any of them is picked, so pick the close ones too (Lawyer, Divorce lawyer, Family law attorney) when businesses file themselves differently. Google Maps also uses names of its own beyond its official list, such as Attorney (its US name for Lawyer), Vacation rental or Subway station: they are in the field, shown next to the category they belong to (Lawyer (Solicitor, Attorney)), and picking Lawyer matches all of them. Categories match in the run's Language, in 38 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Japanese and Chinese. Google Maps' own extra names were collected in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Dutch; in the other languages, the official names match. ### How do I set categories through the API? Pass the category names as the Categories field shows them, in English: "categories": ["Orthodontist", "Pediatric dentist"]. The other names in brackets in the field work too ("Attorney" or "Solicitor" for Lawyer), and the names stay the same whatever the run's Language, so you can copy them from the category and categories columns of an English run. A run with a name that is not a Google Maps category stops at the start and says which one. ### Can I get the shops inside a mall, or the restaurants at an airport? Yes. Turn on Businesses inside each place and search for the malls, outlet centres or airports (or paste their URLs). Every business in each place's Google Maps directory gets its own row, with located_in set to the mall and directory_section to the part of the directory it is listed in, and the mall's row shows places_inside_count. Barton Creek Square in Austin lists 214 businesses; Austin-Bergstrom airport 256. Filters and Categories apply to those businesses too, so a shopping mall search with Categories set to Shoe store gives the shoe shops inside the malls. Max places per search counts the malls a search finds, Max businesses per place caps each directory, and Max places in total caps the whole run: set it to stop after a number of shops. Each business is charged as a place. It works for malls, department stores, airports, stations, hospitals and medical centers, markets and food courts, universities, convention centers, stadiums and arenas, casinos, theme parks, hotels, tourist attractions and other large sites. You can leave it on whatever you search for: a dentist or restaurant search runs just as fast. ### Can I find businesses with bad ratings or few reviews? Yes. Set Max rating (for example up to 3.0) or Max reviews (for example 20) to find businesses with unhappy customers or new and small businesses. "Claimed by owner" finds listings the owner hasn't claimed yet. ### Will I get places outside the city I typed? No, not with "Only places inside the location" on (the default). Google shows nearby places around the edges of an area, so a search for Brooklyn also brings up Queens. The scraper keeps only the places in the location you typed. A postal code keeps only places with that postal code. Some districts, such as Shoreditch in London, never appear in Google's addresses, and you still get every place in them. Turn it off to keep everything around the area too: the in_location column then shows which places are outside it. ### What is a service-area business? A business that goes to its customers, such as a plumber, a cleaner or a mobile mechanic, can hide its street address on Google Maps and show the area it serves instead. These places have is_service_area set to true and no street or postal code. A search by postal code doesn't include them, since they have no postal code. ### Can I scrape hotels? Yes. Search hotel in a city: each hotel has a hotel object with its stars, check-in and check-out times, amenities, the nightly price for the dates Google picks and every booking site's offer (Booking.com, Expedia, the hotel's own site...), each with its price and link. Turn on Place details for the full amenities list. ### Will I get an email for every place? Only where the business publishes one on its own website. Many small businesses don't. You pay for emails and social profiles only for the places where the website gave something. ### Which email verifier should I pick? Any of the eight works for finding dead mailboxes. They differ on catch-all domains, which accept mail for every address, so a normal check can't tell a real mailbox from a made-up one. Reoon, ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, MillionVerifier, DeBounce and Truelist return catch_all for those. Bouncer and BounceBan also try to tell whether the address exists on a catch-all domain, at a higher price per check. Catch-all domains are common among businesses on Google Workspace. If your verifier fails mid-run (a timeout, the credits run out), the run carries on and the emails it couldn't check keep their free status. ### What company details do I get? When 📧 Emails and social profiles is on, each business comes with its company details, in legal_notice: | Field | What it is | |---|---| | legal_name, legal_form | The company's legal name and its form (GmbH, UG (haftungsbeschränkt), AG, e.U., SARL, SAS, Ltd, S.L., S.r.l., B.V., SRL, Einzelunternehmen...) | | registration_numbers | Each with its type, value and register: HRB or HRA with the Amtsgericht (Germany), FN with the court (Austria), UID (Switzerland), SIREN and SIRET with the RCS city (France), the company number (UK), partita IVA and REA (Italy), CIF (Spain), KvK (Netherlands), the enterprise number (Belgium) | | vat_ids | VAT IDs such as DE136695976 or ATU13585627, written without spaces | | share_capital | The amount and currency, with the text as written | | people | The owners, managing directors, directors and the person responsible for the content, each with their role as the business writes it and a role_type such as owner or managing_director | | page_url | The page the details come from | Only the business's own details: not its web designer's, host's or insurer's. It costs nothing extra. If you don't need people's names, for example for GDPR, turn off Names in company details. ### Where are company details strongest? It depends on what businesses in each country publish. In our tests on dentists, lawyers, plumbers and accountants: | Where | What to expect | |---|---| | Germany, Austria | The best results. Nearly every business gives its legal name, its register or VAT number and the owner or managing director by name. | | Switzerland | Most businesses give their legal name and UID. Fewer name a person. | | France, Belgium | About half to two thirds of businesses, usually with the SIREN or enterprise number. Some name the manager or the publication director. | | Italy, Spain | Often the partita IVA (Italy) or CIF (Spain). Legal names and people are rarer. | | UK, Netherlands | Fewer places, usually with the company or KvK number. People are rarely named. | | Outside Europe | Few places: most businesses outside Europe don't publish company details. | People are listed when the business names them with their role. Group websites with several locations can list a number for each location. ### Can I get all the reviews of the places? Reviews per place adds a few reviews to each row, filtered by date and keywords if you like. They are Google's own reviews: the partner reviews Google shows for some hotels (Tripadvisor, Booking.com) are not included. For every review, one row per review, feed the url or place_id column into Google Maps Reviews Scraper. ### Can I get the photos of each place? Yes. Set Photos per place (up to 200) to get each place's photos at full size, in the order Google's photo gallery shows them. From the date shown on the Pricing tab you pay per photo, 360 photo or video delivered (until then, once per place that gets photos); places without photos are free. - images lists the photo links. 360 photos count as photos. Videos come on top of your number (25 photos gave 25 to 32 items in our tests), are charged like photos, and are listed in image_details. - image_details has every photo and video collected, each with its full-size link, media_type (photo, video or 360), source_kind (posted on Google Maps by a visitor or the business, a hotel partner's photo, or Street View) and, for a video, its length and MP4 link. - Labels: Google labels a place's top photos (about 10) Inside, Outside, Food & drink, Team, Vibe or Products, so most photos have none (categories is null, or empty when Google ranked the photo but gave no label); image_categories counts the labels per place. They are included in the photo price. - Photo authors (off by default, no extra cost): who posted each photo (name, Google Maps profile and picture), whether it was the business itself, when it was uploaded and taken, its original size and the app it came through. Runs are slower with it, and authors' names are personal data: turn it on only if you need them. Photos come from the place's main gallery; by_owner marks the ones the business posted. ### Can I get popular times, the menu or "People also search"? No. Google Maps shows visitors who aren't signed in a limited view, and this scraper never signs in to a Google account. As of November 2026 the limited view has no popular times (busy hours or live busyness), menu link or menu, "People also search for", questions and answers, fuel prices for every grade, EV charger details, or the date the hours were last updated. Other scrapers that don't sign in see the same view, so these fields are usually empty there too. What Google still shows, this scraper gets: for prices, the fuel price on the map, hotel prices, and an estimate of the price per person from reviews (Place details). ### What happens when a run fails? The run's status message says why, and the log names each input that failed. If a mistake in the input stops the run before anything is scraped, the run ends without results and its status message says what to change. Either way the Actor sends us a short error report, so we can fix the cause even if you never open an issue: the Actor's build, the reason, the counts from the end-of-run summary, whether your Apify plan is free or paid and, for an unexpected error, where in our code it happened. Web addresses and @usernames are blanked out first. The report never includes your input, your account, the pages you scraped or your results. Every run, failed or not, also sends one usage line as it ends, so we can see which options people use, what runs cost us and how well the data is filled: how many of each charged event it used (for example 120 full details) and the price your plan paid for them; the run's platform cost by item and its resources (time, memory, proxy traffic); whether it stopped at your maximum cost or maximum items; how it was started (Console, API, schedule, saved task, and for API runs the kind of tool, such as Make, Zapier or the Apify client, never the tool's full identity); our scraper's own retry and timing counts; and for each output field, how many results had it filled (counts only, never the values). That never includes your input, your account, your IP address, the pages you scraped or your results either. If you need help with a run, open an issue on the Issues tab and attach the run, or email support@kekliktech.com with the run's link; the run's log ends with both. ## Run it - In Apify Console: https://apify.com/keklik/google-maps-leads-scraper - With the Apify API: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/keklik~google-maps-leads-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=APIFY_TOKEN with the input JSON as the body. It returns the rows. - From an AI agent: connect the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com), add the Actor `keklik/google-maps-leads-scraper` and call it with the input.
