1. Can this scraper extract emails from every business on Google Maps?

The scraper attempts to find emails listed directly on the Google Maps profile. If the email is not publicly visible on Maps, the field may remain blank. For maximum coverage, this template also looks for the business website to assist in finding contact info.

2. How many leads can I scrape per run?

You can set the number of pages to scrape (up to 50 pages per run). Since Google Maps typically lists 20 results per page, a single run can generate approximately 1,000 leads. For larger projects, we recommend splitting your keywords into multiple runs.

3. Is it legal to scrape Google Maps data?

Scraping public data from Google Maps is generally permitted for public insights, provided you do not violate personal privacy laws (GDPR/CCPA) or scrape behind a login. Always ensure your use of the data complies with local regulations. If you are interested in a more detailed walk through on web scraping legality, check out our guide "Is Web Scraping Legal?"

4. Why is the scraper taking time to show the first rows of data?

Unlike simple list scrapers, this template performs a "deep dive." It clicks into every individual business listing to find hidden details like social media links and specific emails. This takes more time per record but results in much higher quality data.

5. Can I scrape specific categories in multiple cities at once?

Yes! You can input multiple lines in the text box (batch input). However, for stability, we recommend running one location batch at a time or using the Cloud Extraction mode to run concurrent tasks.
