FAQ

Common questions

Google Reviews are publicly visible but Google's ToS restrict automated access. Apify's scraper handles compliance. Use data for internal analysis, not for republishing reviews on your own site.
Yes. The scraper can paginate through all reviews for a business. Large businesses with thousands of reviews may take longer but all reviews are accessible.
Google Maps Places API charges per request and has strict review export limits (5 reviews per request). Scraping gives you complete review data at a fraction of the cost.
No. Review responses must be made through Google Business Profile. This skill is for extracting and analyzing reviews, not managing them.
Google reviews appear within minutes of submission. For monitoring, daily scrapes catch new reviews quickly. For competitive analysis, weekly or monthly scrapes are sufficient.
