vkimuraQ: Hi, Just a few questions.
This looks like a great tool. I'm scraping Google Maps particularly in North America.
1. With Google Maps scraping, what information does it scrape?
2. How many can we scrape per day?
3. You mentioned that for N. America we don't need proxies. Can we scrape 1,000 leads per day without proxies?
4. What is the limit for the number of scrapes per day when we do need proxies?
5. What proxy servers do you recommend?
6. Do you have some youtube or documentation on implementing proxies and how they IPs will be rotated?
7. I didn't see any scraping for SERP. I want to scrape Google Ads, Bing Ads, Local Service Ads, Top 3 Google Business Profiles (GBP), Top 20 listings on Google and Bing, etc. I guess this tool doesn't do this. Will you have such a feature in the future?
Thank you,

1) 'Name', 'Address', 'Street Address', 'City', 'State', 'ZipCode', 'PlusCode', 'Phone', 'Category','Menu', 'Website', 'Listings Type', 'Rating', 'Reviews', 'Price Range', 'Hours', 'Description','Merchant Verified', 'Permanently Closed', 'Temporarily Closed', 'Dine-In', 'Takeout', 'Delivery','Image URL', 'Listing CID', 'Lat', 'Long', 'Possible Virtual Tour', 'Review 1 Text','Review 1 Score', 'Review 1 Date', 'Review 2 Text', 'Review 2 Score', 'Review 2 Date', 'Review 3 Text', 'Review 3 Score', 'Review 3 Date', 'Listing URL' these are the default scrapes for Google Full. If you add the Email scraping option it will also attempt to find a email, LinkedIn, instagram, and facebook account details from the business website.
2) The program has no limits for amount of data or how much you can scrape. It's a desktop application that you control.
3) With the google scrapers specifically we scrape them in a very safe and slow manner. Proxies are not needed, if you are worried I would recommend a VPN just as a layer of protection if you have one.
4) I have scraped for 3 weeks non-stop without proxies without issue. I can not give an exact "you can scrape exactly this much" answer with google because I have no idea how they go about blocking people. I have never been blocked and no customer has reported being blocked by them ever.
5) The ReadMe page after you buy the program has lots of details and companies i recommend.
6) Yeah the ReadMe page for the program has these details.
7) There is no SERP scraping in the program, it focuses only on business directory type sites. This could be added in the future but it is not currently on the roadmap for the program.
Thanks,
