What is a Google reviews scraper?

A tool that copies a business’s Google reviews into a spreadsheet, so you can sort, count and answer them.

Google Maps shows reviews one at a time. With hundreds of them, across several locations, you can’t see which complaints keep coming back, or which reviews nobody has answered.

In a spreadsheet, every review is a row: the stars, the date, what it says and whether the owner replied.

How it works

  1. Name the places

    A business name and city, Google Maps links, or all your locations. Add nearby rivals if you want them too.

  2. It collects the reviews

    Chatly reads the public reviews: the stars, the date, what it says, and whether the owner replied.

  3. Get the sheet

    One row per review, plus a summary for each location: its rating, how many reviews are unanswered, and the top complaint.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get new reviews every week?

Yes. Run the same request each week and only the reviews that came in since are added, each with the date it was posted.

Is it legal to scrape Google reviews?

Reviews on Google Maps are public, but Google's terms limit collecting them automatically. Reading them to understand your customers is common. Check Google's terms and your local privacy rules before you publish reviews elsewhere or keep reviewers' names, and only keep what you need.

Can I export reviews for several locations at once?

Yes. List the locations or paste their Maps links. They land in one sheet with a location column, and a summary row for each.

What about reviews in other languages?

Each review keeps its own words, with an English translation beside it, so you can sort and count them all together.

Can I export competitors' Google reviews?

Yes. Any business on Google Maps can be added, so you can see your rivals' ratings and complaints next to your own.
