Scrape Google Maps Businesses to Google Sheets
This template automates the process of finding businesses on Google Maps and saving their contact information directly into a Google Sheet. It's designed to help you quickly build lead lists, conduct market research, or gather contact details for any type of local business.
This automation streamlines data collection from Google Maps with a few simple steps:
- Search: It begins by navigating to Google Maps and searching for a specific type of business (e.g., "interior designers") in a city you provide.
- Scroll & Collect: The automation intelligently scrolls through the search results to find as many businesses as possible, up to a specified limit.
- Extract: For each business found, it extracts key information, including the business name, phone number, address, and rating.
- Organize: It then connects to your specified Google Sheet, creates a new tab named after your search, and sets up columns for the data.
- Save: Finally, it populates the sheet with all the collected business information, giving you a clean, organized list ready for use.
Usage Ideas
- Create targeted lead lists for your sales team to initiate outreach campaigns.
- Conduct local market research to analyze competitors in a new expansion area.
- Build a directory of local service providers, like plumbers, electricians, or landscapers, for a home services company.
- Gather contact information for potential B2B partners or suppliers in a specific region.
- Compile a list of venues or restaurants for event planning purposes.
Customization Ideas
This template is built to be highly adaptable to your specific data-gathering needs. You can easily customize it to:
- Change the Business Type: Instead of interior designers, you can search for any business category, such as "coffee shops," "law firms," or "auto repair shops."
- Target Any Location: Search for businesses in any city or region worldwide.
- Define Your Data: Modify the specific information you want to collect. For instance, you could add the business's website to your data extraction.
- Choose Your Output: While it defaults to Google Sheets, you can have the results saved to other services or formats.
- Control the Scope: Easily adjust the maximum number of businesses you want to find for each search.
