Google Maps place

Send a Google Maps place URL and receive structured business data. Useful for local intelligence, competitor density studies, lead-gen pipelines targeting brick-and-mortar businesses, and verifying NAP (name-address-phone) consistency. Google is aggressive with bot defenses, so production usage typically pairs the actor with a residential proxy.

Production guidance

Google Maps place questions

How accurate is the Google Maps place actor? ▾

For pages that return a normal response, the actor extracts every documented field reliably. For pages that hit anti-bot defenses, the actor returns a clear error rather than guessing at incomplete data — your pipeline can decide whether to retry with a residential proxy.

How much does each google maps place call cost? ▾

Every actor call counts as a single request against your monthly quota — same as every other endpoint. There are no per-vertical surcharges.

What happens if Google changes their page structure? ▾

We monitor structural changes on every site we support and update the actor before customer pipelines notice. Subscribe to the changelog to be notified when a vertical actor gets a new field or fix.

Can I request a custom field? ▾

Yes. Business and Enterprise customers can request additional fields on any actor. We typically ship within one to two weeks of a clear specification.
