The Problem
Sales teams targeting local businesses need contact data: business name, phone number, address, hours, website, and review ratings. Scraping Google Maps directly violates terms of service and breaks frequently. Buying lead lists from data brokers is expensive ($0.10-0.50/lead) and the data is often stale. Manual research on Google Maps is accurate but takes 3-5 minutes per business, making it impractical for building large prospect lists.
The Scavio Solution
Use Scavio's Google Maps endpoint to extract structured local business data at API prices. Search for business categories in target locations and get back structured JSON with name, address, phone, website, rating, review count, and hours. Build prospect lists of 1,000+ local businesses in minutes instead of weeks.
Before
Before: A sales team manually researched local businesses on Google Maps, copying data into a spreadsheet. Each business took 3 minutes. Building a 500-business prospect list took 25 hours of research assistant time at $20/hr ($500 total). Data was stale within weeks.
After
After: The same 500-business list is built programmatically in 10 minutes using 50 location-category queries ($0.25 total). The list includes structured data (phone, website, rating, hours) that would take manual researchers much longer to compile. Monthly refresh costs $0.25.
Who It Is For
Sales teams, lead generation agencies, and local marketing companies that need structured local business data at scale. Anyone building prospect lists for location-based outreach.
Key Benefits
- Extract 500+ local business leads for $0.25 vs $500 in manual research
- Structured data includes phone, address, website, rating, and hours
- Build prospect lists in minutes instead of weeks
- Monthly refresh costs pennies to keep lead data current
- No Google Maps TOS violations from direct scraping
