## Scrape Google Maps leads to Google Sheets via Apify

Who's it for

This workflow is ideal for marketers, sales professionals, and solo entrepreneurs who want to collect local leads based on Google Maps search terms. For example, restaurants in North Holland.

What it does

This workflow uses an Apify actor to scrape business details from Google Maps and automatically appends them to a Google Sheet with the following fields:

  • Business name
  • Street
  • Postal code
  • City
  • Website
  • Phone number

How it works

  1. The workflow starts with a manual trigger (you can replace it with any other trigger).
  2. The Google Maps Scraper Apify actor is launched.
  3. A short wait ensures the actor completes the task (you can increase the wait time for more extensive outputs).
  4. The resulting dataset is retrieved from Apify.
  5. Data is mapped and added into a connected Google Sheet.

How to set up

Step 1: Configure the “Run Apify scraper” node Go to the Google Maps Scraper actor on Apify. Create a new Task with your search term. Find your actor from list.

Step 2: Edit the “Find your last run” node Select the correct actor (Google Maps Scraper) from the dropdown in this node.

Step 3: Fetch the dataset In the “Get the data from Apify” node, use {{$json.defaultDatasetId}} to dynamically pull the correct dataset.

Step 4: Connect your Google Sheet Link your Google account and select the desired spreadsheet and tab (for example, Leads). Make sure the column headers match the data fields.
