How to Scrape Local Businesses from Google Maps by Niche

Hey, I need some help. I want to scrape all local businesses within a location, I was planning on using the google maps function, but I see you are required to input a niche (eg. dentists). How could I do this?

I have a video on that: https://youtu.be/6PSKMTU9rKY?si=ooRkZT_z0o9oA9GC Its pretty flexible way but still you have to niche down to be able to get most results

Thank you!! I just finished watching this. It's a great technique but I think with this method it would take a long time to put in every niche, since I just wanted all local business. I think I'll go with specific niches though, even if it takes a bit more. Also, what's the difference between your method and by using google maps? Wouldn't it be easier with google maps? And is it ok if I send you a dm.

My method is scaleable - you can scraps 100's of thousands of business in minutes

I'm a noob at clay so I'll check it out more. I also see that you don't have credits so this means your method is free right?

Trying to wrap my head around this

my method is free but it uses serper.dev - its super cheap

Oh right right, I just saw that. I've seen your website. How did you learn everything (like make, n8n, clay, crm stuff, etc.) and how long did it take you
Muhammad S.

Learnt everything by doing - it took me around 8-10 months. You can learn to drive a car in like 15 days but to get really comfortable with driving you might want to drive for years Similarly, you can learn these tools within few days or maybe weeks but to leverage the complete potential and unlock the limits and get really comfortable with them it takes months or maybe years.

Yeah right now I'm learning more about Clay and CRMs. It just seems a lot lol
Muhammad S.
·

one step at a time

Also, in your video it only says 20 results per location, is there a way to increase that? Cause, for example, I wanna scrape all the dentists in Miami, and there are way more than 20 so how could I do that?

use places api and paginate
Muhammad S.
·
·
just a different end point in serper
Muhammad S.
·
·
paginating this specific end point is a bit tricky and might give you a lot of duplciates when you are automating it and doing it at scale
Ricardo T.
·
·
ahh ok so another api
Ricardo T.
·
·
have you heard about outscraper?
Muhammad S.
·
·
yeah
Muhammad S.
·
·
not another api. its an different end point within serper.

Would it be possible to scrape 100k-200k local businesses within different niches in different locations? Then enrich them to check their decision maker, their website, instagram, etc. and then send them automated email and LinkedIn outreach. What would be the api/software costs for all of this.
Muhammad S.
·

this is possible cost can vary hard to quote a fixed number since i am not aware whats ur tech stack and how do you plan to do it exactly.

Muhammad S. I just finished watching the video you shared. its really great, thank you man!!

I’m planning on scraping with server.dev, do you know a tutorial on using that places api so I can get all the results instead of 20?
