Google Maps Scraper - Extract Business Leads, Emails, Reviews & Social Profiles

Extract business leads from Google Maps at scale. Get business names, phones, emails, websites, structured addresses, ratings, every review (not just the count), GPS coordinates, popular times, and 10 social media profiles per business. No browser needed - runs on pure HTTP for fast, cheap bulk lead generation.

What this Google Maps scraper does

Enter search queries and locations. The actor scrapes Google Maps results with automatic pagination, then optionally visits each business website to harvest emails and social profiles across 10 networks (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, Threads, WhatsApp, Telegram). Each query × location pair runs in parallel for fast extraction.

Perfect for lead generation, local SEO research, competitor analysis, CRM enrichment, real-estate research, and sales prospecting.

Pricing

Pay-per-event with Apify subscription tier discounts. You only pay for contact enrichment when we actually find an email or social profile - never for an empty crawl.

Component	Free	Gold+
Business lead (name, phone, address, rating, GPS)	$0.004	$0.003
+ Contact enrichment (billed only when an email/social is found)	+$0.003	+$0.002
+ Full review text (optional)	$0.0007	$0.0005

Example costs (Free tier):

• 1,000 basic leads, no enrichment: $4.00
• 1,000 leads where 40% return a contact: **$5.20**
• A lead with a verified email: ~$0.007, with the email, phone, and social profiles included in that price.

Set maxTotalChargeUsd before each run to cap budget; the actor stops automatically when reached. Apify's $5 platform free credit applies on first use.

FAQ

Do I need a Google API key?

No. This scraper works directly with Google Maps - no API keys, no quotas, no Google Places API limits.

How accurate is the data?

Live - exactly what's on Google Maps at the moment of the scrape, not cached.

Can I scrape full review text?

Yes - enable Extract Full Review Text to return every review with author identity, rating, timestamp, photos, and owner replies.

How does email extraction work?

For each business with a website, the actor visits the homepage (and optionally /contact, /about, /team pages) to harvest email addresses and social profile URLs across 10 platforms. Cloudflare-obfuscated emails are decoded automatically.
