What is Google Maps Contact Extractor?
Google Maps Contact Extractor is a Windows desktop application, in continuous development since 2010, that extracts business contact data from Google Maps by keyword and location. You type what you are looking for — for example “dentists in Chicago” — run the extraction, and export a clean spreadsheet of business names, addresses, phones, websites and emails. It is built by Management-Ware Solutions Inc. and licensed as a flat, one-time term with unlimited local extraction in scraper mode.
Unlike browser extensions or pay-per-record cloud services, it runs entirely on your own PC: your searches and results never pass through a third-party server, and there is no per-record fee no matter how many businesses you extract.
How does it extract data from Google Maps?
Enter one or more keyword-and-location pairs, choose how many results you need, and the software collects every matching business listing from Google Maps into a table you can review, export or print. It works across regional Google domains — maps.google.com, maps.google.ca, maps.google.co.uk, maps.google.com.au and more — so you can target any market. An optional email finder then visits each business’s website to locate a contact email address.
- Type a keyword (the business type) and a location, or queue many pairs for a bulk run.
- Choose scraper mode (no API key, unlimited) or Google Maps API mode.
- Run the extraction and watch results fill the table in real time.
- Optionally run the email finder to enrich records with email addresses.
- Export to CSV, Excel, XML, PDF, HTML or RTF — or print the list.
What data fields does it extract?
Each business record can include up to 22 fields — from core contact details to ratings, coordinates and Google identifiers — so the export drops straight into a CRM or mail-merge without extra cleanup. The table below groups the fields it captures per listing.
| Group | Fields captured |
|---|---|
| Business identity | Company name, category, contact name |
| Location | Street address (two lines), city, state/province, ZIP/postal code, latitude, longitude, Plus Code |
| Contact | Phone, website, email (optional finder) |
| Reputation | Star rating, number of reviews, price level, claimed status |
| Reference | Google Maps URL, record ID, the keyword and location used |
See the complete data-fields reference for every column and what it means.
What formats can it export to?
Results export to CSV, Microsoft Excel (XLS), XML, PDF, HTML and RTF, so the data fits whatever comes next — a spreadsheet, a CRM import, a mail-merge or a printed call sheet. Each field lands in its own column, deduplicated and ready to use. In the free demo, extraction works up to 250 records per search but saving and exporting are disabled, so a licence is what unlocks the export step.
Scraper mode vs Google Maps API mode — what is the difference?
Scraper mode needs no Google API key and places no cap on how much you extract; Google Maps API mode uses your own API key and is subject to Google’s usage quota and billing. Most users choose scraper mode for unlimited, key-free extraction. The API mode exists for teams that prefer to run within Google’s official quota.
| Scraper mode | Google Maps API mode | |
|---|---|---|
| API key required | No | Yes (your own) |
| Extraction limit | Unlimited (local) | Google quota applies |
| Best for | High-volume lead lists | Official-quota workflows |
How is it different from cloud scrapers like Apify or Outscraper?
Cloud tools bill per record and keep your data on their servers; Google Maps Contact Extractor is a flat desktop licence that extracts unlimited records in scraper mode and keeps every result on your own PC. For steady or high-volume extraction, a fixed annual cost is far more predictable than per-1,000-record pricing that recurs on every run.
| Google Maps Contact Extractor | Typical cloud scraper | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat licence (fixed term) | Per record / per credit |
| Extraction volume | Unlimited in scraper mode | Metered, recurs each run |
| Where data lives | Your own PC | Vendor’s cloud |
| Install | Windows desktop app | Browser / cloud account |
