Real-world cost examples

Platform compute costs (memory + time) are billed separately by Apify at standard rates.

How to scrape Google Maps leads

1. Click "Start" on the actor page or use the API.
2. Enter search queries — business keywords like plumber, dentist pediatric, or yoga studio.
3. Add locations (optional) — cities or regions like Chicago, IL or Berlin, Germany. Each query is combined with each location.
4. Set max leads — limit results to control cost and run time.
5. Run and export — download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect via API.

Email verification (opt-in)

Set verifyEmails: true to add inline email verification to each lead. This is free — no extra charge per event.

When enabled, the output includes an emailVerification object for each lead that has an email:

{
  "emailVerification": {
    "email": "info@rescueplumbing.com",
    "isValidFormat": true,
    "hasMxRecords": true,
    "isVerified": false,
    "confidenceScore": 35,
    "isDisposable": false,
    "isFreeProvider": false,
    "isRoleAccount": true,
    "provider": "google_workspace"
  }
}

Confidence score guide

Note on SMTP level: Gmail and Microsoft 365 often return inconclusive results for catch-all detection. confidenceScore: 60 honestly reflects this ambiguity. Use mx (the default) for fast, reliable domain-level validation.

Tips for best results

• Use specific queries — "dentist pediatric" works better than just "dentist" for targeted leads.
• Add locations for city-level targeting — combine queries with city names for cleaner geographic results.
• Start small — test with 5–10 leads before scaling to hundreds. It's cheaper and faster to iterate.
• Keep enrichment enabled — website enrichment finds emails and social links that Google Maps doesn't show.
• Increase enrichment timeout for slow regions — some international sites load slowly; try 25–30 seconds.
• Use placeIdAndAddress dedup (default) — catches duplicate listings that share a Place ID but have different addresses.
• Check lead scores — higher scores mean more outreach potential (missing website = opportunity, has email = actionable).
• Export to CSV for CRM import or use the API for automated pipelines.
