n8n-nodes-google-local-services-api

An n8n community node for the Google Local Services API on Apify. It returns Google Local Services Ads: the Google Guaranteed and Google Screened home-service businesses that appear above the map pack, with their badges, ratings, review counts, and phone numbers as clean, structured data. Built for home-services lead generation, local SEO and LSA monitoring, and competitor tracking.

Backed by the Apify Actor Google Local Services API (pay-per-result, US locations only).

Installation

In your self-hosted n8n:

1. Go to Settings > Community Nodes.
2. Select Install.
3. Enter n8n-nodes-google-local-services-api and confirm.

The node also works as an AI Agent tool.
