Google Maps Scraper is a lead generation tool that extracts business data from Google Maps. The tool solves the problem of manually finding and collecting business contact information by automating the extraction of over fifty data points including business emails, phone numbers, websites, and social profiles directly from Google Maps search results. It works by scraping Google Maps listings in response to location-based queries and enriching the results with additional contact and decision-maker information.
The tool suits businesses and developers who need to build lead lists for sales outreach, market research, or business intelligence. It is particularly valuable for those seeking a free or low-cost alternative to commercial lead generation platforms, as it offers a free tier that allows two hundred searches per month with results typically ranging from one hundred to over one thousand businesses per search. The README positions it against larger competitors by emphasizing that its free plan yields significantly more leads than comparable offerings from other platforms.
Development activity shows consistent engagement with the user base. The project maintains active issue tracking and responds to user feedback. Documentation is written with developers in mind, providing clear integration examples for Python and Node.js. The tool receives ongoing maintenance and updates to keep pace with changes to Google Maps itself.
