About Google Maps Scraper

Need to pull business data from Google Maps without the manual hassle? I've been there, trying to cobble together info for lead lists or market research. This Google Maps Scraper is what I use. You give it a keyword—like "coffee shops"—and a location, and it systematically works through the search results. In a few minutes, it pulls out the essentials: business names, physical addresses, phone numbers, and website links. It also grabs the valuable stuff like star ratings, review counts, and geographic coordinates. I've used the output for building sales lead databases, checking local competition, or even plotting locations on a custom map. It runs on Apify's platform, so you set your search parameters and let it handle the extraction, saving you hours of copying and pasting. The data comes out structured and ready for a spreadsheet or your CRM, making it a practical starting point for any project that needs real-world business info.
