Introduction

The Search Google Maps Places action is a powerful tool that can be leveraged for outbound campaigns, door-to-door sales, market studies, Total Addressable Market (TAM) analysis, competitor analysis, enrichment, and more.

Inputs

You can add your query in the following format: startup near paris and the action will reconstruct the URL. You can either import a CSV or add each URL or query manually.

We strongly recommend you to add the near operator to localize your search.

If you add a specific address, like 55 rue des Francs-Bourgeois, 75004 Paris, Google Maps will transform this as a “Place” URL, which will only give you one result.

Parameters

max_results
integer

Maximum results is the maximum number of results to extract from the given search, the maximum at the moment being 200 results per search.

language
string

Language is used to force the language you wish to search in.

country
string

Country to force the current IP for a specific country.

You can have “weird” combinations like using the French language while being localized in the US, but of course we recommend you to be as precise as possible in your query.

We strongly recommend you to add the near operator to localize your search, even if you choose a specific country.

Specificities

When adding a specific address, Google Maps will transform this as a “Place” URL, which will only give you one result. Therefore, it is recommended to use the near operator to localize your search for more accurate results.
