Google Maps Lead Generation API
Build local business datasets, enrich company profiles, and map market coverage with structured Google Maps data workflows.
The problem
Local market research is slow when it lives in manual searches and spreadsheets
Local data teams, agencies, and SaaS products need structured business discovery workflows for categories, locations, websites, ratings, review counts, and enrichment. Fragile scrapers add maintenance overhead around pagination, browser behavior, parsing, and deduplication.
Normalization
Raw pages must become stable records before products and data teams can use them.
Product fit
Use-case landing pages should map directly to buyer workflows and internal data models.
Responsible use
Structured public web data workflows still need clear legal, privacy, and platform boundaries.
What you can collect
Structured data categories
Example fields may include public business profile fields and the query/location context used to collect them.
business name
category
address
phone number, if publicly available and supported
website
rating
review count
opening hours
place ID
location coordinates, if supported
business status
search query and location context

Why not build it yourself?
Custom scrapers can work for prototypes. Production web data workflows need infrastructure, monitoring, stable output, and clear failure behavior.
| DIY approach | Crawlora approach |
|---|---|
| Build local search collection and pagination | Use structured Google Maps workflows |
| Maintain place parsers and browser automation | Receive normalized output from documented routes |
| Deduplicate and enrich records manually | Use place IDs and structured fields in downstream systems |
| Track infrastructure usage yourself | Use API-key usage tracking and credit-based pricing |
