The Google Maps list, as a spreadsheet

The Google Maps scraper API returns 20 businesses per search, in the order Google Maps lists them, with name, star rating, review count, category, address, phone, website, opening hours for each day and GPS coordinates. One search costs €0.0015, so 1,000 searches cost €1.50 and give you up to 20,000 business rows. Save your searches once, and every business list is stored in your Scrapewise account for the table, Excel, your AI assistant or the API.

Anyone who has built a local lead list by hand knows the routine. Search, click a pin, copy the phone number, copy the website, go back, click the next pin. Twenty businesses take half an hour, and a list for 50 cities is a week of copy and paste. The official Maps developer API can do it too, but you need a Google Cloud project, a billing account and code before you see a single row.

Here you type the same search you'd type into Google Maps and get the list as a table. Each row also carries the place ID. Send it to the Google Maps place details API for one business in depth, with popular times, or to the Google Maps reviews API for reviews and review topics. If Excel is where your list ends up, our guide on how to export Google Maps to Excel or CSV walks through the steps. Prices for every source are on the all data APIs and prices page.

Who builds lists from Google Maps

  • Local marketing agencies

    You sell websites, SEO or ads to plumbers, dentists and salons. Search '[trade] in [city]' and you have names, phone numbers and websites ready for outreach, with rating and review count to decide who to call first.

  • Franchise and store owners

    Search your own category around your address and see every competitor Google shows, with their rating, review count and hours. Do it for each branch.

  • Lead-gen sellers

    You build and sell B2B lists. A list of 2,000 restaurants in 10 cities is 100 searches, and 100 searches cost €0.15.

  • People planning a new location

    Before you sign a lease, count the gyms, cafes or clinics near the address and check how well rated they are.

How it works

  1. Save the searches

    Enter a keyword with a place, like 'plumber in Leeds', or paste a Google Maps search link. Add one search per city or neighborhood. Each search is one call at €0.0015.

  2. Run once or on a schedule

    Run the batch now, or monthly to catch new businesses. Every run is saved with its date for 90 days.

  3. Build your list

    Filter by rating or category and download Excel for your CRM, pull rows by API, or ask your AI assistant: 'which plumbers in my list have under 4 stars and no website?'

Set it up once. The data keeps coming.

Save your search once and it runs by itself. Every run lands in your own Scrapewise database, and you pick how to read it.

  1. Set it up once

    Add your ASINs, keywords, places or apps to a scraper in the web app. New accounts get 5 free requests.

  2. Runs on your schedule

    Pick daily, weekly on the days you choose, every few days, or the first or last day of the month. Scheduled runs start at night, European time. Need it more often? Start runs from your own code.

  3. Saved in your database

    Each run adds dated rows, so this week sits next to last week. Rows are kept for 90 days.

  4. Use it your way

    Open the table in the web app and download the latest run as an Excel file. Ask your own AI assistant about it. Or pull the rows into your code with an API key.

Ask your AI assistant about your own data

Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code or another MCP app with a read-only key. The assistant reads the rows you've already collected, at no extra cost on Scrapewise. With a full-access key it can start a run for you too.

  • Which of my ASINs lost the Buy Box this week?
  • Which competitor cut prices the most since Monday?
  • Show the keywords where I dropped out of the top 10.

What you send and what you get back

Send a keyword plus a place, or a Google Maps search link. Each call returns up to 20 businesses, one row per place. Besides the contact basics, each row lists the attributes Google shows for that place, like dine-in, delivery, payments, parking and accessibility, one column per value. That's why the table is very wide.

What each column means

A Maps search returns 393 columns because Google lists dozens of attributes per business. You'll use a few groups most. The columns starting with 'sw' have the same names on every Scrapewise data API. Columns with a number in brackets, like types[0] and types[1], are lists split into one column per value.

Name, rank and IDs

Position is the order Google Maps listed the place. Place ID and data ID identify the business, and you send them to the place details and reviews APIs. Provider ID is Google's knowledge graph ID, which the food delivery API uses.

  • sw position
  • position
  • sw title
  • title
  • sw external id
  • sw id kind
  • place_id
  • data_id
  • data_cid
  • provider_id

Contact details

Address, phone and website as the business lists them on Google Maps. The sw url column holds the website when there is one.

  • address
  • sw location
  • phone
  • website
  • sw url

Rating and reviews

Star rating, total review count and one short quote from a review, as Maps shows under the listing. The quote has no reviewer name.

  • sw rating
  • rating
  • sw rating count
  • reviews
  • user_review

Category

The main category plus every extra category the business picked, as text and as Google's category codes.

  • type
  • types[0]
  • types[1]
  • type_id
  • type_ids[0]
  • type_ids[1]

Location

Latitude and longitude as two separate number columns, ready for a map or a distance calculation.

  • gps_coordinates_latitude
  • gps_coordinates_longitude

Hours

Open state is the live text, like 'Open, closes 6 PM'. Then one column per weekday with that day's hours.

  • open_state
  • hours
  • operating_hours_monday
  • operating_hours_tuesday
  • operating_hours_wednesday
  • operating_hours_thursday
  • operating_hours_friday
  • operating_hours_saturday
  • operating_hours_sunday

Service options and attributes

True or false columns for dine-in, takeout and delivery, a link to order online when there is one, and list columns for what Google shows under the listing: offerings, payments, parking, accessibility, pets and more. The price column often holds one of these attribute texts, like 'Dogs allowed', so don't read it as a price level. The number after extensions changes from place to place, because each business shows a different set of sections, so match on the section name at the end.

  • service_options_dine_in
  • service_options_takeout
  • service_options_delivery
  • service_options_no_contact_delivery
  • service_options_curbside_pickup
  • service_options_drive_through

  • extensions[0]_service_options[0]
  • extensions[9]_payments[0]
  • extensions[3]_accessibility[0]
  • extensions[11]_parking[0]

What you can do with a Google Maps list

01

Build a local lead list

Search 10 trades across 50 cities. That's 500 searches, up to 10,000 businesses with phone and website, for €0.75.

02

Pitch businesses with weak reviews

Filter the list to places rated under 4.0 or with fewer than 20 reviews. Those owners are the ones who listen when you offer reputation or review services.

03

Find businesses with no website

Sort by the website column and take the empty rows. A salon with 150 reviews and no website is a warm lead for a web designer.

04

Map your competitors

The latitude and longitude columns drop straight into Google My Maps or any mapping tool, so you can see how crowded each street is.

05

Check where you show up

Run 'pizza near [neighborhood]' for 5 neighborhoods and find your business in the position column. If you're 3rd in one area and missing in the next, you know where to work.

06

Compare opening hours

Each weekday has its own hours column. See which competitors open early on Sunday or close late on Friday before you change your own hours.
