How do I extract business data from Google Maps?

To extract business data from Google Maps, use a desktop tool like Google Maps Contact Extractor: enter a keyword and a location, run the extraction, then export the results to CSV or Excel. No coding and no API key are required. Here is the full process, step by step.

Export to CSV or Excel

1) Install the software

Download and install Google Maps Contact Extractor on your PC. It runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11. On a Mac, run it inside a Windows virtual machine (Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox) or via Boot Camp. The free demo lets you test the full workflow — it extracts up to 250 records per search, and export is unlocked in the paid version.

2) Enter your keyword and location

Type the kind of business you want and where — for example “plumbers” in “Austin, TX”. You can add several keyword-and-location pairs to run a single bulk job that covers many categories or cities at once. Choose Scraper mode (no API key, unlimited) or Google Maps API mode (subject to Google’s quota).

3) Run the extraction

Start the extraction and the software navigates Google Maps automatically, collecting every matching listing. There is nothing to write in code — it is a point-and-click Windows app that does the crawling for you, and you can watch the record count climb in real time.

4) Review the results

Results fill an on-screen table as they are collected. Each business can include up to 22 fields — name, address, city, phone, website, optional email, rating, number of reviews, price level, coordinates, Google Plus Code and more. See the full list of data fields.

5) Export to CSV or Excel

When the run finishes, export the data in the format you need — CSV, Excel (XLS), XML, PDF, HTML or RTF — and import it straight into your CRM, spreadsheet or email tool. That is how a single keyword becomes a ready-to-use B2B lead list.

Do I need coding skills or an API key?

No. Scraper mode needs no coding and no Google API key. An optional Google Maps API mode is available for users who prefer it, subject to Google’s usage quota. For most people, scraper mode is the simplest way to extract unlimited business data from Google Maps and export it to a spreadsheet.
