Google Maps Scraper 💰$0.80/1K – Business Leads, Emails, Phones

Google Maps Scraper – Business Leads, Emails & Phones

Extract businesses from Google Maps for any search and location: name, category, full address, phone, website, rating, reviews count, rating distribution, opening hours, GPS coordinates, photos, "claim this business" status, place ID and Maps link. Optional: emails and social profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest) read from each business website.

$0.80 per 1,000 places — 5× cheaper than the most popular Google Maps scraper — with the same output field names, so you can switch without changing your integration. No start fee, no blocked runs (licensed Google Maps data), pay only for places delivered.

What is Google Maps Scraper?

Google's own Places API is priced per request and caps results. This Actor returns the same business listings you see on Google Maps — through a licensed Google Maps data provider (DataForSEO), so runs are not blocked by captchas — and, if you want, visits each business website to collect emails and social profiles. One row per place, in JSON, CSV or Excel, ready for a CRM or a cold-outreach tool.

Why this one

• Deep search splits a city into tiles to go beyond Google's ~150-200 results per search: Paris "restaurant" with 5×5 tiles → 3,000 unique places in under a minute.
• Lead filters: minimum rating, only with / without website (sell websites to businesses that have none), category words, skip closed places.
• Contacts: 200 roofing contractors in Dallas → 95 emails and 105 social profiles in 2.5 minutes.
• Same field names as the most popular Google Maps Actor (title, categoryName, totalScore, reviewsCount, placeId…).
• Any country and language, non-Latin searches (寿司, مطعم) included.

How much does it cost to scrape Google Maps?

Event	Free plan (trial)	Starter	Scale	Business+
Place	$0.0008	$0.0007	$0.0006	$0.0005
Contact details (only when at least one email or social profile is found)	$0.002	$0.002	$0.002	$0.002

• Paid Apify plans: no key needed, no limit. 10,000 places = $7 on Starter, $6 on Scale, $5 on Business; contacts add $0.002 only for places where an email or social profile is found.
• Apify free plan: one free trial run (1 search, 50 places, contacts included). After that, add your own DataForSEO login in the "Apify free plan" section: places are then free here — you pay DataForSEO directly for them (they give $1 of free credit at sign-up). If you turn on contacts, the contact-details event ($2 per 1,000 places where contacts are found) is still charged, because the website visits run on this Actor, not on DataForSEO.
• Places filtered out or returned twice are never charged. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops there.

Real runs — 3 November 2026

Job	Places	Run time	What we got
plumber in Austin, Texas, 100 places, with contacts	100	74 s	phone 99, website 91, emails 47, social profiles 71, rating 98, opening hours 99, unclaimed listings 8
hair salon in Manchester, United Kingdom, rating ≥ 4, only without website	68	32 s	phone 61, website 0 (as requested), unclaimed listings 22

The second run is the classic web-design-agency lead list: 68 well-rated salons with a phone number and no website. Price for both runs on a paid plan: 168 places + 47–71 contact rows ≈ $0.25.

Bulk example

5,000 restaurants in a capital city with Deep search 5 and contacts: ~5,000 × $0.0007 + ~2,500 × $0.002 ≈ $8.50 on Starter.

Who this is not for

• You need Google reviews text. Use Google Maps Reviews Scraper on the placeId / url values.
• You need personal emails of employees or owners. Contacts come only from the business website (generic addresses like info@, hello@, bookings@ are the most common).
• You need every place of a whole country in one search. Use a city or region per search, and Deep search for large areas.
• You are on the free plan and do not want a DataForSEO account. After the free trial, a DataForSEO login (free credit at sign-up) or a paid Apify plan is required.

What's new

• 5 November 2026 — Contact details are now charged also when you use your own DataForSEO login (places stay free here in that case). Example and masked email addresses removed. New option Only places with an email (places without email dropped and not charged), also available as a dedicated Actor: Google Maps Email Extractor.
• 3 November 2026 — Cleaner contacts: technical Facebook links found in website code (facebook.com/2008/fbml) are no longer returned as profiles. In-depth documentation: real runs, price comparison, clearer free-plan rules.
• 1 November 2026 — FAQ, use cases and AI-agent (MCP) documentation.
• 31 October 2026 — Results in the native language of the location, deeper fetch when filters remove places, faster website contact collection (contact-page choice, per-site cache), case-insensitive category filter.
• 31 October 2026 — First release.

Integrations and Google Maps API

Python:

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("rt-solutions/google-maps-scraper-leads").call(run_input={
    "searchStringsArray": ["roofing contractor"], "locationQuery": "Dallas, Texas", "scrapeContacts": True,
})
for p in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    if p.get("placeId"):
        print(p["title"], p.get("phone"), ", ".join(p.get("emails") or []))

HTTP (one call, results in the response):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/rt-solutions~google-maps-scraper-leads/run-sync-get-dataset-items?timeout=280" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchStringsArray":["dentist"],"locationQuery":"Lisbon, Portugal","maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch":50}'

No-code: Make, n8n (HTTP Request node) and Zapier can call the same endpoint; Apify's Google Sheets integration pushes every run into a sheet; webhooks notify your system when a run finishes. Drop-in replacement: the field names match the most popular Google Maps Actor, so existing Make/Zapier mappings keep working.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

You can run this Actor from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other MCP client through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com), using the Actor ID rt-solutions/google-maps-scraper-leads. Ask in plain language, for example: "Find 300 plumbers in Austin, Texas with at least 4 stars and a website, and get their emails." The agent starts the run and reads the results for you.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

FAQ

How do I scrape Google Maps without the Google API? Enter search terms and a location (or paste a Google Maps search link) and start the run. The data comes from a licensed provider, so there are no blocked runs.

Is it legal? It returns public business listings through a licensed data provider and public website contact pages. You are responsible for respecting anti-spam and privacy laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM) when contacting businesses.

How much does it cost to scrape 10,000 Google Maps places? $7 on Starter, $6 on Scale and $5 on Business. Contact details add $0.002 per place, only when at least one email or social profile is found (up to $20 more for 10,000 places).

Can I use it on the Apify free plan? Yes: one free trial run (1 search, 50 places). Then add your own DataForSEO login (free credit at sign-up) — with it, places are not charged here; only contact details are, if you turn them on.

How do I get more than 200 results per search? Turn on Deep search (3–6): it splits the area into tiles to go beyond Google's ~150-200 results per search.

Why are emails empty for some businesses? Contacts are read from the business website (home page + contact page). Places without a website, or whose site blocks visitors, give no contacts and are not charged for them. In the 3 November run, 47 of 100 plumbers had an email and 71 a social profile.

Why is the address empty for some places? Service-area businesses (plumbers, cleaners, mobile services) often hide their street address on Google Maps.

What does claimThisBusiness mean? The owner has not claimed the Google listing — a typical lead for local-SEO agencies.

Can I search in another language or country? Yes — any location, language code and non-Latin search terms.

Can I use my existing Google Maps integration? Yes — the field names match the most popular Google Maps Actor.

Can I export to CSV, Excel or Google Sheets? Yes — download from the run, or use the Google Sheets integration.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Save your input as a Task and add a schedule.

Need another field? Open an issue — we answer in writing within 24 h.
