The estimate tells you, before you pay anything, roughly how many businesses a search will find and what collecting them will cost. It is free and needs no account.
Run an estimate
- Keyword: the type of business, as you would type it on Google Maps. Use the singular form, for example dentist, roofing contractor or coffee shop. Suggestions appear as you type.
- Country, then optionally a state or region.
- Optionally narrow it to counties, areas or cities, and to specific ZIP or postal codes. Leave them empty to cover the whole state or country.
- Choose Search. The estimate appears with sample businesses below it.
What the estimate shows
- Estimated businesses: how many businesses the list is expected to contain after duplicates are removed.
- Estimated price: the expected cost of collecting them with the data pack shown.
- Location searches: how many separate Google Maps searches it takes to cover the area. Large areas are split into ZIP codes or cities, because one Google Maps search returns a limited number of businesses.
- Coverage depth: how many businesses each search may return (up to 20, 40 or 60). Deeper searches find more in busy areas and cost more.
- Sample rows: real businesses from this search with the contact details partly hidden, so you can check it is the kind of business you want.
Why a range? Nobody knows the exact number of businesses until the searches run. The estimate is based on how often that business type appears in each area. When the task finishes, the final cost is set by the unique businesses actually collected, at the prices of the day you created it: fewer businesses means the difference comes back to your balance, more means an extra charge at the same prices. See How tasks are charged.
Less common business types
For a country-wide search of a rare business type, ScrapePlaces searches the largest cities instead of every ZIP code, because that is where most of those businesses are and it costs much less. You can still switch to every ZIP code if you need small towns too.
