Outscraper consultants

Q: Can we monitor competitor reviews with Outscraper?

Yes. We set up scheduled Outscraper runs that pull the latest Google Reviews for your competitors on a regular basis. An n8n workflow processes the new reviews, tracks changes in average rating and review volume, and sends you alerts when a competitor receives notably positive or negative reviews. This gives you ongoing visibility into competitor sentiment without manual checking.

We can help you automate your business with Outscraper and hundreds of other systems to improve efficiency and productivity. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss implementing Outscraper.

About Outscraper

Outscraper is a data extraction service focused on Google Maps, Google Search, and Google Reviews. It lets you pull structured business data (company names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, reviews) from Google’s platforms through a web interface or REST API. Unlike general-purpose web scrapers, Outscraper is built specifically for extracting Google data at scale, handling Google’s anti-bot protections and delivering clean, structured results.

The problem Outscraper solves is manual lead research and market data collection. Sales teams that spend hours searching Google Maps for potential clients, marketing teams that manually track competitor reviews, and research teams that need business listings for specific locations or industries can all automate that work with Outscraper. You define your search parameters (business type, location, keywords), and Outscraper returns a structured dataset of matching businesses with their details and reviews.

At Osher, we integrate Outscraper into automated lead generation and market research pipelines using n8n. A typical workflow runs Outscraper queries on a schedule, deduplicates the results against your existing database, enriches each record with additional data points, and loads qualified leads directly into your CRM. We have also built review monitoring systems that track competitor Google Reviews and alert you to changes in rating or review volume. If you need Google data feeding into your business systems automatically, our automated data processing team can build the pipeline. See our talent marketplace case study for an example of how we build data processing workflows.

Outscraper FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about how Outscraper consultants can help with integration and implementation

What does Outscraper actually do?

Outscraper extracts structured business data from Google Maps, Google Search results, and Google Reviews. You specify a search query (e.g., ‘plumbers in Sydney’ or ‘restaurants near Melbourne CBD’), and Outscraper returns a dataset with business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, opening hours, ratings, review counts, and individual review text. The data comes back in CSV, JSON, or Excel format, ready for import into your CRM or analysis tools.

How is Outscraper different from Apify or other web scrapers?

Outscraper is purpose-built for Google data extraction. It handles Google’s specific anti-bot measures, pagination, and data structure out of the box, without requiring you to configure proxies, browser settings, or scraping logic. General-purpose scrapers like Apify are more flexible but require more setup for Google-specific use cases. If your primary need is Google Maps or Google Reviews data, Outscraper is a more direct solution.

Can Outscraper be used for lead generation?

Yes, and that is one of its most common use cases. You search for businesses by category and location on Google Maps, and Outscraper returns their contact details. We then feed those results into an n8n workflow that deduplicates against your existing CRM, scores leads based on review count and rating, and creates new records in your sales pipeline. This turns hours of manual Google Maps research into an automated process.

How does the Outscraper API work?

The Outscraper REST API accepts search queries with parameters like location, business category, language, and result limit. It returns JSON responses with structured business data. You authenticate with an API key, submit a search request, and either get results synchronously (for small queries) or poll for results asynchronously (for larger extractions). We connect this API to n8n workflows for automated, scheduled data collection.

How would Osher set up Outscraper for our business?

We start by understanding your data needs: what types of businesses or locations you want data on, how often you need fresh results, and where the data needs to go (CRM, spreadsheet, database). Then we configure the Outscraper queries, build n8n workflows to process and deliver the results, and set up scheduling for regular automated extraction. Our sales automation team handles the full setup from query design through to CRM integration.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Outscraper

As Outscraper consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Outscraper with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Process Audit

We review your current lead research and data collection methods: how your team finds potential clients, where they search for business information, how long it takes, and where the data ends up. We also identify any competitor monitoring or market research you do manually using Google Maps or Google Search.

Step 2

Identify Automation Opportunities

Based on the audit, we identify which data collection tasks Outscraper can automate. Priority targets are typically high-volume lead research across specific business categories and locations, competitor review monitoring, and market mapping for new geographic areas or industries you are expanding into.

Step 3

Design Workflows

We design the data extraction pipeline: Outscraper search parameters, scheduling frequency, data transformation steps (deduplication, enrichment, scoring), and destination systems (CRM, spreadsheet, database). We map out the full n8n workflow from Outscraper API call through to final data delivery, including error handling and notification logic.

Step 4

Implementation

We configure the Outscraper account and API access, build the search queries with your specific parameters, and deploy the n8n workflows that process and deliver the extracted data. We set up scheduled runs, configure CRM field mappings for lead data, and implement deduplication logic to prevent duplicate records in your systems.

Step 5

Quality Assurance Review

We run test extractions and verify data quality: checking that business details are accurate, deduplication catches existing records, lead scoring assigns sensible values, and data lands correctly in your CRM or other destination systems. We also verify that scheduling runs reliably and error notifications work when extractions fail.

Step 6

Support and Maintenance

After launch, we monitor extraction success rates and data quality. We update search parameters as you target new markets or business categories, adjust deduplication rules as your CRM data grows, and troubleshoot any API issues. We also help you analyse extraction results to refine your targeting criteria over time.
