Web scraping has become an indispensable tool for gathering valuable data from the vast expanse of the internet. In this blog post, we will walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to scrape Google reviews from a Google page with ease and efficiency.

The process begins by searching for a company's name and navigating to the reviews section. Once there, we ensure that all reviews are loaded by scrolling down before diving into the extraction process.

To kickstart the scraping process, we utilize the new automation web feature, eliminating the need for cookies. By copying and pasting the URL into the designated window, we direct our Chromium window to the desired Google page.

With a single click, we access the Google reviews section and proceed to capture the necessary information. By incorporating a scroll down step, we ensure that a comprehensive list of reviews is obtained, beyond the surface-level results.

The next step involves scraping a list, where we meticulously select and add columns for essential data points such as reviewer names, number of reviews, and review content. This structured approach allows for organized data extraction and analysis.

By customizing the extraction parameters, users can adapt the process to scrape multiple pages or entities effortlessly. Utilizing variables and triggers, such as Google Sheets integration, enables seamless automation and scalability.

Moreover, the flexibility of the scraping process allows for easy adaptation to different search URLs. By updating the initial steps with a new URL, users can diversify their data collection efforts and explore a myriad of review sources.

In conclusion, web scraping offers a powerful and efficient way to extract valuable insights from Google reviews. By following the outlined steps and leveraging automation tools, users can streamline the data collection process and unlock a wealth of information.

Hey, so I'm not entirely sure on the situation you're looking here for here. Um, but basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to search for a company's name and then I'm going to click the reviews here. We're going to scroll down to load more of them. And then we're going to scrape the reviewer and then what they said about it.

So I'll click new automation web, and then we don't need cookies for this. And then I will grab this URL here from my search. Right here.

And then I'll paste that over here when this window opens back up so that we can see our chromium window goes to this page. And then I'll record a click step of the Google reviews button, and then confirm this. And then we can record a scroll down step by scrolling down after clicking scroll down here.

And we'll see this blue border highlight to let us know we captured that and that I can click confirm. Then from here, we're going to want to scrape a list. We have this scroll down step by the way, so that we can load more reviews. You'll see if we scroll here, it loads more. So we're going to have this scroll down step for how many ever seconds we want to make sure we load more than just these like five results.

So I'll click scrape a list and then I'm going to select the names for my first column. So we have 10 names. We can see those here. And then I'll click add new column and I'm going to select the amount of reviews this person has. And then we can get the information for the review here like this, and then we can get the content of the review by doing this and just adding these columns for whatever else it looks like we want to scrape.

I'll confirm this and that is going to be it for scraping all of their reviews. Now, if we save this automation and you want to scrape someone else, um, like, I don't know, let me find another thing here. Okay. Then what we can do is, is we can grab this. I don't know how I found this search URL. Actually. I had to do a different type of search to actually load just that business.

I think I had to search the entire name

we go. Okay. We can grab this URL now. And we can update our first step to be that new URL. That way we scrape a different page if you wanted to. This can of course be using variables if you connect a Google Sheet with something like a list trigger so that you can loop over that. Um, but this works for what it sounds like you were describing there.
