The Competitor Research Tool That Scrapes What APIs Can't.

Google Places Scraper

You search "office cleaning melbourne" on Google Places. Twenty businesses appear. You need competitor intelligence on five of them — but not the ads, not the irrelevant ones, not the franchise you already know about.

Five extraction modes. One panel. Target exactly the businesses you choose.

Five extraction modes, one panel

Products, services, Q&A — free, no API

Type "2,5,9" to target specific competitors

32-field business profiles with 7 auto-URLs

Five Data Types Trapped on One Page

Products, services, Q&A, reviews, and business data. All visible in the browser. None of it exportable.

Each Google Places listing has a product catalog with prices. A service menu organized by category. Customer Q&A with owner responses. Individual reviews with full text and dates. And business data — address, phone, website, categories, coordinates.

Five layers of competitive intelligence. It's part of the local SEO tools for Google Maps data in SEO Time Machines. The manual approach: click into each listing, find each tab, screenshot it, type out the data. Five competitors. Five data types each. Half a day gone.

The SaaS scraper approach: pay per record. Get business name and address. No products. No services. No Q&A. Maybe reviews as a paid add-on.

Five Extraction Modes. One Panel.

Five checkboxes. One business range field. One "Start Extraction" button.

Business Information → 32 fields. Address components, coordinates, opening hours, claim status, seven auto-generated URLs including review links, CID links, and same-address lookups.
Extract Products → Clicks into each business, opens the products tab, scrapes every listing with name, price, description, category.
Extract Categories/Services → Complete service menus with pricing, organized by category.
Extract Q&A → Every question-answer pair. Customer objections. Competitor positioning.
Extract Reviews → Full text, dates, ratings, reviewer names. Set a limit per business or extract all.

Precision Targeting

Twenty businesses on the page. You want data on three of them. Type "2,5,9" — only those three get scraped.

This is what no other tool offers.

Three results are ads. Five are franchises you don't care about. You want businesses 2, 5, 7, 11, and 14. Type the numbers. Only those get scraped.

Type "2-7" for a contiguous range. Or "1" for a single business.

Other tools export everything. You get 20 records. Delete 15. Pay for all 20. Google Places Scraper scrapes only what you ask for. No wasted API calls. No noise. No sorting through irrelevant records.
