How Does it Work?

How Google Maps Reviews Scraper runs

BrowserAct builds a Google Maps search URL from the place query. If Google Maps shows a result feed, the Bot opens the first public result as the most relevant place. If the query opens a place directly, the Bot continues from the place detail panel.

The Bot opens the Reviews tab, expands visible truncated review text, extracts the loaded review cards, and scrolls the true reviews container until the requested count is reached. Owner responses, likes, profile URLs, and review URLs are returned only when Google Maps displays them publicly.

How to Build a New Scraper Bot with Agent Built

Step 1: Describe the Data You Need

Open BrowserAct and start Agent Built from the Home prompt box or from Create -> Build with Agent. Paste a clear request that includes the website, the records to collect, the filters or search conditions, the fields to return, the result limit, and the inputs you want to reuse later.

Step 2: Let BrowserAct Build and Test the Bot

BrowserAct explores the live website, works out the navigation and extraction path, and validates the result. If BrowserAct asks for clarification, reply in the same build conversation with the missing URL, condition, field, example, or expected output.

Step 3: Run the Bot and Review the Result

When the build is complete, run the Bot with the default inputs first. Review the structured records, source URLs, missing fields, and row count before reusing the Bot with new inputs or connecting it to another workflow.

Why Scrape Google Maps Reviews?

Google Maps review data helps teams monitor customer sentiment, research local competitors, audit public feedback, collect review examples, and feed local reputation data into reporting workflows.

Who Can Use This Template?

Local business teams monitoring reviews.
Agencies researching local competitors.
Customer experience teams collecting public feedback.
Analysts building location-level review reports.
Automation builders sending review data into sheets, dashboards, databases, or agents.

How Many Results Can You Scrape?

Use review_count to control how many reviews BrowserAct collects. Higher counts require more scrolling and may take longer than collecting only the first visible batch.

Automation and Export

Automation and export flow

BrowserAct returns structured review records first. You can then use the output through API JSON responses, n8n workflows, Make scenarios, Zapier automations, MCP-based agent workflows configured from the Bot's Integrations tab, or manual CSV review.
