The scraper operates as a browser extension that automatically collects business data as you browse Google Maps. Here’s what happens:

1. You search for businesses on Google Maps (e.g., “dentists in Los Angeles”)
2. The extension runs in the background, enriching each listing
3. Business data is collected automatically—no manual copying required
4. Export everything to CSV with one click
5. Import directly into your CRM or email marketing platform

Key Takeaways:

• Extract live business data from Google Maps in seconds
• Average users extract 5000-20000 leads per hour
• Works with all major CRM platforms (CSV export)
• 10,000+ businesses use it for lead generation
• No technical skills required—browser extension only

Benefits of using Google Maps for Lead Generation

• Real-time data: Access current business information directly from Google Maps
• Comprehensive coverage: Reach millions of businesses worldwide
• Cost-effective: Generate leads at a fraction of traditional marketing costs
• Instant results: Extract data within seconds of your search
• No outdated information: All data is pulled live from Google’s current listings

Step 1: Getting started with your first search

Follow these steps to begin extracting leads:

1. Open the Google Maps Scraper extension in your browser
2. Navigate to Google Maps in a new tab
3. Perform your business search using specific keywords and locations
4. Example searches: “restaurants in Amsterdam, Netherlands” or “dentists in New York, NY”
5. Allow the extension to automatically enrich business listings in the background
6. The extension window does not need to remain open during data collection

Pro Tip: Use specific, targeted searches for better results. Instead of “restaurants,” try “Italian restaurants” or “fine dining restaurants” for more qualified leads.

Step 3: Downloading your lead data

Complete your lead extraction process:

1. Open the Google Maps Scraper extension panel
2. Click the green “EXTRACT DETAILED LIST” button
3. Wait for processing to complete (timing varies by result count)
4. Click the “DOWNLOAD” button when it appears
5. Save your results in CSV (comma-separated values) format
6. Import the data directly into your preferred CRM system

The Google Maps Scraper extension accumulates results until you press the red “CLEAR LIST” button. If you run multiple searches, they’ll all be combined into one export. Clear the list between different campaigns to keep data organized.

Best practices for Lead Generation

Search strategy optimization

More specific = more qualified leads.

1. Use specific keywords: Instead of “restaurants,” try “Italian restaurants” or “family restaurants”
2. Target specific locations: Search by city, neighborhood, or zip code for focused results
3. Combine multiple searches: Run separate searches for different business types in the same area
4. Check business hours: Focus on businesses with current operating hours
5. Verify contact information: Cross-reference phone numbers and websites before outreach

Data quality management

• Review the ‘business status’ column to prioritize claimed/verified businesses
• Filter results by review count to focus on established businesses
• Remove duplicates before importing into your CRM
• Validate email addresses using email verification tools
• Update your lead lists regularly to maintain data freshness

Maintain Data Freshness

Business information changes constantly. Strategies to keep data current:

• Re-scrape key markets every 180 days
• Track “last updated” dates in your CRM
• Note when you last contacted each lead
• Remove businesses that closed or changed categories

Outreach personalization

Generic cold emails have a 1-2% response rate. Personalized emails hit 10-20%. Use scraped data to personalize:

• Reference their Google reviews in your initial contact
• Mention their social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn pages)
• Customize messages based on business category and location
• Use business hours data to time your outreach appropriately
• Reference local events or news relevant to their area

Segment by business characteristics

Create different campaigns for:

• Businesses with 0-5 reviews (offer reputation management)
• No website listed (web design services)
• Unclaimed listings (Google Business optimization)
• High review counts (competitive analysis, premium services)

Our CSV export format is compatible with all major CRM platforms:
