Location-data operations / authorized exports

Clean duplicate business listings and missing website fields

Audit existing business-location datasets for duplicate place IDs, incomplete website fields and inconsistent listing records. Turn messy exported data into a reviewable QA list without scraping Google Maps live.

Try a prefilled Apify example Check live pricing & Actor details

Check costs first: An Actor run can incur fees even on synthetic inputs. Sample data is not a customer case study or proof of current marketplace prices.

Who this workflow is for

Use this for branch operations, CRM imports and location-data teams that already have an authorized business listing export.

How to get a useful result

  1. Import your authorized records

    Paste your existing location rows into the input. The example uses three fictional business records.

  2. Choose the audit scope

    Check whether to include all business rows or focus on missing websites. Review the live Pricing tab before starting.

  3. Review and export quality findings

    Inspect duplicate candidate and field-gap reports, then fix your source dataset. The tool does not modify any live Maps listing.

Fictional records for testing the input shape. Use your own authorized records for real analysis.

}

Limits: This is a data-cleaning and QA tool, not a Google Maps live scraper. It does not fetch reviews or update public business profiles. Use only data you can lawfully process.

Questions before running

Do I need a Google Maps API key?

No live Maps API access is required when you provide an existing business-data export.

Can it find duplicated locations?

It checks duplicate and incomplete records in the input dataset, including repeated place IDs.

Does it publish edits to Google Maps?

No. It reports potential data-quality issues for your review; it does not edit any Maps listings.

How do I estimate the cost?

Open the live Apify Pricing tab; event and start charges vary with the Actor's current terms.
