Scrape Google Maps business listings into Google Sheets with Apify

Who it's for

This workflow is for sales teams, marketers, and local SEO professionals who need to quickly collect and store business listings from Google Maps without manual copy-pasting.

How it works

1. A user submits a web form with a city, country, and search query (e.g. "restaurants in Lyon, France"). 2. The inputs are normalized into structured fields (City, Country, Query) using a Set node. 3. A new Google Spreadsheet is automatically created and named after the search parameters, and existing records are read. 4. A POST request is sent to the Apify Google Maps scraper actor, returning up to 50 business listings matching the query. 5. Key fields (title, price, category, address, phone, website, open/closed status) are extracted and mapped. 6. Results are appended or updated in the Google Sheet, ready for use in outreach or analysis.

How to set up

- [ ] Configure the When Search Form Submitted node with your desired form fields. - [ ] Connect your Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials in both Sheets nodes. - [ ] Add your Apify API credentials to the Scrape Google Maps via Apify HTTP Request node. - [ ] Verify the Apify actor ID in the POST URL matches your intended Google Maps scraper actor.

Requirements

- Google account with Google Sheets access - Apify account with a Google Maps scraper actor
