🤔 Questions

❓ How to Scrape a Specific Search Query?

Open the main.py file, and update the queries list with your desired query.

queries = ["web developers in delhi"]
Gmaps.places(queries, max=5)

❓ How to Scrape Multiple Queries?

Add multiple queries to the queries list as follows:

queries = [
   "web developers in bangalore",
   "web developers in delhi",
]
Gmaps.places(queries, max=5)

❓ The scraper is only retrieving 5 results. How can I scrape all Google Maps search results?

A: Remove the max parameter.

By doing so, you can scrape all the Google Maps Listing. For example, to scrape all web developers in Bangalore, modify the code as follows:

queries = ["web developers in bangalore"]
Gmaps.places(queries)

You can scrape a maximum of 120 leads per search, as Google does not display any more search results beyond that. However, don't worry about running out of leads as there are thousands of cities in our world :).

❓ How Can I Filter Google Map Search Results?

You can apply filters such as:

1. min_reviews/max_reviews (e.g., 10)
2. category_in (e.g., "Dental Clinic", "Dental Laboratory")
3. has_website (e.g., True/False)
4. has_phone (e.g., True/False)
5. min_rating/max_rating (e.g., 3.5)

For instance, to scrape listings with at least 5 reviews and no more than 100 reviews, with a phone number but no website:

Gmaps.places(queries, min_reviews=5, max_reviews=100, has_phone=True, has_website=False)

To scrape listings that belong to specific categories:

Gmaps.places(queries, category_in=[Gmaps.Category.DentalClinic, Gmaps.Category.DentalLaboratory])

See the list of all supported categories here

❓ How to Sort by Reviews, Rating, or Category?

We want you to have the best chance of making a sale by default, so we sort the listings using a really good sorting order, which is as follows:

• Reviews [Businesses with richer profiles come first]
• Website [Businesses more open to technology come first]
• LinkedIn [Businesses that are easier to contact come first]
• Is Spending On Ads [Businesses already investing in ads are more likely to invest in your product, so they appear first.]

However, you also have the freedom to sort them according to your preferences as follows:

• To sort by reviews:

  Gmaps.places(queries, sort=[Gmaps.SORT_BY_REVIEWS_DESCENDING])

• To sort by rating:

  Gmaps.places(queries, sort=[Gmaps.SORT_BY_RATING_DESCENDING])

• To sort first by reviews and then by those without a website:

  Gmaps.places(queries, sort=[Gmaps.SORT_BY_REVIEWS_DESCENDING, Gmaps.SORT_BY_NOT_HAS_WEBSITE])

• To sort by name (alphabetically):

  Gmaps.places(queries, sort=[Gmaps.SORT_BY_NAME_ASCENDING])

• To sort by a different field, such as category, in ascending order:

  Gmaps.places(queries, sort=[[Gmaps.Fields.CATEGORIES, Gmaps.SORT_ASCENDING]])

• Or, to sort in descending order:

  Gmaps.places(queries, sort=[[Gmaps.Fields.CATEGORIES, Gmaps.SORT_DESCENDING]])

❓ I Need to Reach Out to Leads to Sell My Products/Services. How Do I Scrape Email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.?

Directly calling potential clients often leads to lower sales success rates, and you may unintentionally come across as fraudulent person.

Instead, use a more effective strategy:

1. Conduct thorough research on your prospects through their LinkedIn profiles, websites, etc. Then, craft a personalized email. Begin with genuine appreciation for their specific achievements or work, followed by an explanation of how your services can contribute to their business growth.
2. Send a personalized message to the business owner on LinkedIn.
3. Reach out via personalized messages on company social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

This strategy allows prospects to learn about you before engaging, significantly increasing the likelihood of making a sale.

To gather contact details of leads, please consider using the 'Website Contacts Scraper API' by OpenWeb Ninja.

Follow these simple steps to integrate the API:

1. Sign up on RapidAPI by visiting this link.

2. Subscribe to the Free Plan by visiting this link.

3. Copy the API key.

4. Use it in the scraper as follows:

queries = ["web developers in bangalore"]
Gmaps.places(queries, max=5, key="YOUR_API_KEY") 

5. Run the script, and you'll find emails, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn details of leads in your output file.

The first 40 emails are free, after which it costs $25 for 10,000 scrapes, which is affordable considering if you land just one B2B client, you could easily make hundreds of dollars, easily covering the investment.

❓ How to scrape all cities in my country?

Consider this example, To scrape web developers from 100 cities in India, use the following example:

queries = Gmaps.Cities.India("web developers in")[0:100]
Gmaps.places(queries) 

After running the code, an india-cities.json file will be generated in the output directory with a list of all the Indian cities.

You can prioritize certain cities by editing the cities JSON file in the output folder and moving them to the top of the list.

We recommend scraping only 100 cities at a time, as countries like India have thousands of cities, and scraping them all could take a considerable amount of time. Once you've exhausted the outreach in 100 cities, you can scrape more.

See the list of all supported countries here

❓ Can I Interrupt the Scrape While It's Running?

Yes, you can. The scraper is smart like you and will resume from where it left off if you interrupt the process.

❓ What are popular use cases for entrepreneurs?

• For selling to B2C businesses like restaurants and clothing shops:
  • They should be affluent enough to afford your services.
  • Avoid very large businesses, as they tend to be bureaucratic and harder to sell to.

queries = Gmaps.Cities.India("your_target_customer in")[0:5]
Gmaps.places(queries,
             min_reviews=60,
             max_reviews=800,
             key="YOUR_API_KEY")

• For selling to B2B businesses like web developers, digital marketers, or less frequent B2C businesses such as dentists, doctors, lawyers:
  • They should be affluent enough to afford your services.

queries = Gmaps.Cities.India("your_target_customer in")[0:5]
Gmaps.places(queries, min_reviews=25, key="YOUR_API_KEY") 

• For selling web development services to businesses such as restaurants that do not have a website:

queries = Gmaps.Cities.India("your_target_customer in")[0:5]
Gmaps.places(queries, min_reviews=25, has_phone=True, has_website=False, key="YOUR_API_KEY") 

Most importantly, avoid the temptation to sell to leads with low reviews, as they may not have the budget for your services and could be a time-consuming prospect.

❓ How to select more fields?

Seeing a lot of fields can be intimidating, so we have only kept the most important fields in the output.

However, you can select from upto 45+ fields.

Also, To select all the 45+ fields, use the following code:

queries = [
   "web developers in bangalore"
]
Gmaps.places(queries, fields=Gmaps.ALL_FIELDS)

To select specific fields only, use the following code:

queries = [
   "web developers in bangalore"
]

fields = [
   Gmaps.Fields.PLACE_ID, 
   Gmaps.Fields.NAME, 
   Gmaps.Fields.MAIN_CATEGORY, 
   Gmaps.Fields.RATING, 
   Gmaps.Fields.REVIEWS, 
   Gmaps.Fields.WEBSITE, 
   Gmaps.Fields.PHONE, 
   Gmaps.Fields.ADDRESS,
   Gmaps.Fields.LINK, 
]

Gmaps.places(queries, fields=fields)

Please note that selecting more or fewer fields will not affect the scraping time; it will remain exactly the same. So, don't fall into the trap of selecting fewer fields thinking it will decrease the scraping time, because it won't.

For examples of CSV/JSON formats containing all fields, you can download this file.

❓ Do You Know of an Effective Strategy to Increase the Chances of Selling My Product?

I've personally employed the following strategy to sell my services, which has proven to be highly effective in generating business. By following this approach diligently, I'm confident you can achieve the same successful results that I have experienced.

1. Read The Cold Email Manifesto to learn how to write effective cold emails that get responses.

• Cold emailing still works in 2023; I say that because I have personally generated $1,000 from sending a personalized cold email to 3-4 contacts at Bright Data (a proxy company), pitching my blog writing services.

2. Draft a compelling cold email template that clearly states your value proposition.

3. Commit to a 21-day goal of reaching out to potential customers. [VERY VERY IMPORTANT]

4. Use the scraper with the contact finding api to gather leads from around 5 cities of your choice, including their emails and social media handles.

5. Send personalized emails to your target businesses and connect with key company personnel on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.
