Google Maps Scraper Plus: Leads, Emails and Monitoring

Extract businesses from any area of Google Maps, far beyond Google's ~120 results per map view, with contacts, emails, social profiles, a transparent lead score, top reviews and change tracking between runs. Built on Google Maps' own internal endpoints over plain HTTP (no browser), so it is fast, cheap and does not need residential proxies.

One example row from a real run, shortened:

ownerName is the display name of the Google Business Profile owner account (usually the business name itself), not a named decision maker.

You pay per event, through your Apify account. Main price: $2.00 per 1,000 places on the Apify Free plan and $0.75 on Gold. Every event and plan:

Every run is one HTTP request to the Apify API with your Apify token; the input below is the actor's own example. The synchronous endpoint returns the rows in the response for runs up to 300 seconds; for longer runs start a run and fetch its dataset.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cheapapi~google-maps-scraper-plus/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["restaurant"],"locations":["Chelsea, Manhattan, New York"],"maxPlacesPerQuery":50}'

With the JavaScript client:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('cheapapi/google-maps-scraper-plus').call({
  "searchQueries": [
    "restaurant"
  ],
  "locations": [
    "Chelsea, Manhattan, New York"
  ],
  "maxPlacesPerQuery": 50
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

1,000 places + website contacts + 5 reviews per place, compared with the most used Google Maps Actor on the Apify Store (~625,000 users). That Actor sells details, contacts, reviews and filters as separate add ons; we price its base place + contacts add on (per place) + 5 reviews (per review). We count our contacts event on all 1,000 places (worst case, in practice it is charged only when the website adds something new).

These totals exclude Apify platform usage. Our runs bill platform usage (compute, storage, proxy) separately. At the default 1024 MB, a 1,000-place run with website contacts typically adds roughly $0.03 to $0.15 (about 5 to 20 minutes at 1 GB, i.e. 0.1 to 0.35 compute units at typical compute unit rates, an estimate, not a benchmark; every run shows its exact usage in Console). Our measured small test runs (1 to 6 places) used $0.001 to $0.01. Added to our price, the Diamond difference narrows to roughly 21 to 29 %, while the other plans stay more than 40 % below. The most used Actor's public pricing data does not mark platform usage as billed to the user, so compare our price plus usage with its price alone. It also charges a start fee of $0.00005 per GB of memory.

Its optional "additional place details" add on (reservation data, web results, questions) costs another $2.00 / 1,000 on Free and $1.05 on Gold, and each filter adds $1.00 / 1,000 on Free ($0.525 on Gold); filters are free here.

Bare listing only (no contacts, no reviews): the most used Actor charges $4.00 / $3.00 / $2.00 / $1.50 / $1.26 / $0.76 per 1,000 places (Free → Diamond) against our $2.00 / $2.00 / $1.40 / $0.75 / $0.75 / $0.75, on Diamond the two are practically the same, and ours costs slightly more once platform usage is added. Several smaller Actors (~3,000 to 4,000 users) charge $0.50 / 1,000 on Free and $0.40 on Gold for a bare listing, which is cheaper than us if the listing is all you need.

Prices from public Apify Store listings, checked September 2026. Store prices change, check the listing of any alternative you consider.

Set Maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops gracefully when it is reached; prices for your plan are read at run time, so the budget is always respected.

• Lead generation: phone, website, email and social profiles of every plumber, dentist or restaurant in several cities, ranked by leadScore.
• Agency prospecting: businesses without a website (web design), unclaimed listings (local SEO), no online booking or outdated websites (leadSignals).
• Market research: how many competitors, their ratings, review volume and categories in an area, plus the free market report.
• Competitor tracking: compare your business with its 10 nearest competitors (myBusiness) and watch them with scheduled monitoring runs.
• Reputation analysis: up to 5,000 recent reviews per place with star ratings, per aspect ratings and owner replies.
• Data enrichment: look up known places by Place ID, CID or Google Maps URL to refresh phone numbers, hours and status in your CRM.

• Reviews: every place includes its top 5 reviews. Set "Reviews per place" higher to get the most recent review history, up to 5,000 per place (Google itself stops listing older reviews after roughly 4,500). About half of Google reviews are star only without text; that is how they were posted.
• Popular times exist only for place types where Google shows them (restaurants, bars, shops…, not e.g. dentists). Q&A no longer exists on Google Maps. Extended profiles and long review histories add a few minutes to a run (longer for very large runs), because they are completed in one batch after the map search.
• Limited view: Google randomly serves a reduced place page (about half of all requests) without review data, without the ownership marker and with only today's opening hours. The Actor request agains such places (limitedViewRetries), fills the week's hours from the search results when possible, and labels any record that stayed reduced (dataQuality.googleView: limited, dataQuality.openingHoursPartial). In monitoring, partial data never counts as a change.
• Emails come from the business's own website; MX checking confirms the domain accepts mail, not that a specific mailbox exists. Privacy rule: by default an address is returned only when it is clearly a business mailbox, one of its name parts is or starts with a role word (info@, bookings2@, front.desk@, events@…), it contains a word from the business name or website domain, or the business published it in its structured data (schema.org). On ordering/booking/site builder pages only the business's own, freemail (gmail…) or self published addresses are kept, and vendor addresses found on privacy/terms pages are ignored. Everything else might be a person's mailbox and is hidden (counted in personalEmailsHidden) unless you enable includePersonalEmails. On franchise pages listing many branches, the address matching this branch's name or city is put first and multiLocationPage is set.
• Ordering, booking and site builder pages (Toast, DoorDash, Booksy, Vagaro, GlossGenius, Wix sites…) are labelled websiteStatus: platform_page; the platform's own emails and social profiles are removed so they are never attributed to the business. RUN_SUMMARY.suspectSharedContacts lists any address found on 3+ different websites (usually a web agency footer).
• Photos: Google exposes about 3 to 5 photos per place to logged out visitors; imagesCount shows the total on Google.
• Very large areas (whole countries in Thorough mode) are capped at 2,500 starting tiles closest to the centre; split them into regions for full coverage.
• Not included: employee or decision maker names, job titles and personal LinkedIn profiles; mailbox level email verification (MX only, no SMTP probing); anything that requires a Google login (e.g. full photo galleries).
