Google Maps knows every local business in your area. Getting that list is the easy part and half a dozen tools do it. Deciding which twenty of the three hundred deserve a call this week is where the hours actually go.
Extraction tools pull the listings and hand you a spreadsheet. Name, address, phone, rating, review count. Accurate, fast, and completely unsorted. You still have to read all three hundred rows to find the ones worth your time.
Pulls the same businesses through the official Google Places API, then scores each one 0-99 on outreach readiness. Every row carries the review count and rating, ad detection, site health, and whether there is a real phone number and contact email. The list arrives ranked.

| Apify | The Google Maps actor bills from $1.50 per 1,000 places on the $999/mo Business tier, $4 per 1,000 on the free tier, with place details, contacts, reviews and images billed as separate add-ons. Platform plans are $0, $19, $199 and $999 a month, and the monthly fee is prepaid usage rather than a license fee (checked on apify.com/pricing and the actor's own pricing tab Sep 27 2026) | Developers and technical teams who want programmable scraping they can wire into their own systems. |
