Q: Do I need to use my own Google Maps API to scrape data from Google Maps?

Is there a trial available to test if this will work for me or not?

A: Hello,

1. In the above reply, i clearly stated that you'll need to bring your own Google API. When you sign up, you are given $300 free and honestly even after exhausting the free $300 (which you can't exhaust in three months), you will be spending insignificant amount as this is the API is a pay as you go service. The reason for asking you to bring your API is to give freedom and make this a truly lifetime deal and not yearly deal. Outside this, there are tons of amazing features for you to enjoy and we are rolling out new updates weekly and bi-weekly.

See our roadmap: https://app.loopedin.io/smatleads

2. If you already purchased SmatLeads, you'll see all the demo videos in the "SmatLeads Academy" tab. But if you haven't, you can watch the video here: https://www.loom.com/share/f13698c49e9d4d64b4c7d314c76373dd?sid=513dbacc-c63c-429a-8b36-41ed7c73dda8

3. SmatLeads is completely different from Leads Gorilla both in functionalities and design. And there's no relationship between both.

Hello Saifullah,

Thank you for your interest in SmatLeads.

Yes, you need your own Google Maps API to scrape data from Google Maps but you don't need that for the Bing data and the B2B Linkedin database. It is easy to create and we are available to assist you if you need any assistance.

Secondly, there's not free trial tier at the moment.

You can reach our support desk at: https://support.smatleads.com/

Thank you!

You should have been clear in your communication about the extra money buyers will spend monthly for Google Maps API. Can you give an idea how much it will cost me if I'm using all 10,000 credits a month?

Secondly, can you provide a demo video? The one you did recently on Loom only shows the features. It doesn't demo how the SEO and audit reports are generated and how they look like.

Thirdly, are you using the same software base as LeadsGorilla? Because your features and interface are like 80% the same

Also, if you are not comfortable with bringing your Google API, you can use the other two options (B2B Linkedin Database and Bing Places Scraper). So all-in-all, you are getting quality leads and value

Thank you!
