How to Scrape More Than 120 Results From Google Maps

Search “dentist London” on Google Maps and scroll the list. After about 120 places it stops, even though London has far more dentists than that. If you are building a lead list, the businesses after that point are the ones your competitors never see. This guide shows why the list stops and how to scrape more than 120 results from Google Maps.

Why Google Maps Stops at About 120

Google Maps shows about 120 places for one search, then the results list ends. It is a limit of the list, not of the map: zoom out over a whole country and you still get about 120. Google’s own Places API is stricter still, at most 60 places per text search.

So the number of businesses you can collect depends on how many searches you run, not on how far you scroll. Every method below, by hand or with a tool, comes down to the same idea: split the area into smaller searches, then merge the lists without duplicates.

Get More Results by Hand

Without any tool you can do this in the Google Maps website:

1. Search a smaller area. Instead of “dentist London”, search “dentist Westminster”, “dentist Hackney”, “dentist Islington” and so on.
2. Or zoom in and use “Search this area”. Move the map to one district, zoom in, and click the button so the search covers only what you see.
3. Copy each list. Every search gives up to about 120 places, so ten districts can give over a thousand.
4. Merge and remove duplicates. Neighbouring searches overlap, so the same business appears more than once. Remove repeats by phone number or Maps link.

It works, but each business has to be opened to copy its phone number and website, so a city takes hours.

Use More Than One Keyword

Different words bring different places. “Dentist”, “dental clinic” and “orthodontist” overlap, but each also finds businesses the others miss, because Google matches the words to how each business describes itself. Run two or three keywords for the same kind of business, then merge the lists. This works by hand and in any scraper.

Search Area by Area With LeadTrapper

The LeadTrapper Google Maps scraper does the splitting for you. Type a business type and a city, and it searches the city area by area:

• Ten large cities have preset districts: London is split into 7 (from the City of London to Islington), Dubai into 8, Cairo into 9, and Riyadh, Jeddah, New York and Paris into 6 each. Any other place is searched as north, south, east and west.
• Each area is searched until no new businesses appear, so each one can return its own full list.
• One row per business. A business found in two areas is kept once.
• You see it work. The screen shows which area it is scanning and counts the businesses found, those with a phone number and the emails found.

For every business it collects the name, phone, address, rating, review count, website and Maps link, plus WhatsApp numbers, emails, social links, services and prices when the business lists them on Google Maps or its homepage. There is no record limit and no credits. To end a run early, type a number in “Stop after”, or download a snapshot of what has been found so far while the search keeps going.

How long it takes depends on the city. In our real scans LeadTrapper collected about seven or eight businesses a minute, so a few hundred businesses take under an hour.

Video transcript

Need every dentist in London, with their phone number, email and WhatsApp? Copying them from Google Maps one by one takes days. In this video, you'll scrape unlimited local business leads from Google Maps with LeadTrapper, then message them on WhatsApp, from the same app. For every business, it collects the name, phone number, WhatsApp, email, website, social media, address, rating, reviews, services and prices, whenever the business lists them on Google Maps or its homepage. Your Excel file gets thirteen columns, including the area it was found in, and its Google Maps link. Many Google Maps scrapers charge for every thousand records, or limit you each month. LeadTrapper has no record limit. One yearly price, running on your own PC. Open LeadTrapper, click Google Maps, then Find Businesses. Option one, keyword search. Type what you are looking for, like dentist clinic, and where, like London. Tip: try two or three keywords for the same kind of business. Dentist, dental clinic and orthodontist each bring different businesses. Run them one after another, and your list gets much bigger. Here's the problem with Google Maps. One search shows only about a hundred and twenty places, and then the list stops. So LeadTrapper splits the city into smaller areas. London becomes seven areas, from the City of London to Islington, and each area is searched until no new businesses appear. Want a quick list? Type fifty in Stop after. Leave it blank, and there is no limit. Press Start Extracting Leads, and watch it work. You see which area it is scanning, how many businesses it found, how many have a phone number, and how many emails. Need the leads right now? Download a snapshot at any time, without stopping the search. Done. Every business from all seven areas, in one table. A business found in two areas shows up only once. Scroll right for social media, rating and reviews, address, services and prices. If a business doesn't list an email or WhatsApp on Google Maps or its homepage, that field stays empty. That's normal. It works the same in any city. Type real estate agency and Dubai, and LeadTrapper splits Dubai into eight areas, from Deira to Mirdif. For a city it doesn't have areas for, it searches north, south, east and west. Option two: paste a Google Maps link. Search Maps in your browser, zoom into one neighbourhood, copy the link, and paste it here. LeadTrapper scans just that area. When the search is done, click Export CSV, and open it in Excel. Every business is one row, with its phone, email, website, address and rating, ready for your sales team or your CRM. In Excel, sort by rating to contact the best-reviewed businesses first, and filter the email column to keep only businesses that have an email. Some businesses have a website, but no email on Maps. Open Contacts from Websites, paste their websites, and it finds the emails, phone and WhatsApp numbers, and social profiles on their pages. Now the part most scrapers can't do. Click Send to Campaign. Every lead with a phone number lands in Send Bulk Messages, in one click. Before sending, every number is checked on WhatsApp. Numbers without WhatsApp are skipped, and nothing is sent to them. Write a personal message with their name, choose safe delays, and press Start. Our WhatsApp Bulk Sender video shows every step. What should you send? Keep the first message short and personal: their name, one line on why you are writing, and one easy question. For example: Hi, I found Crown Dentistry on Google Maps. We help clinics get more bookings on WhatsApp. Can I send you a two-minute example? A short question is easier to answer than a long sales message. One honest tip: send businesses an offer that is relevant to them, and add anyone who asks you to stop to the do not send list. LeadTrapper also finds leads on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube, warms up your WhatsApp numbers, and answers with a chatbot. One Windows app, from lead to message.

Scan One Neighbourhood With a Maps Link

Sometimes you want the opposite: every business in one small area. Typing a neighbourhood in the city box doesn’t narrow a keyword search, so use a link instead:

1. Search the neighbourhood on Google Maps in your browser, for example “dentist Canary Wharf”, and zoom to the area you want.
2. Copy the address of the results page.
3. In LeadTrapper choose Paste a Maps link, paste it and start.

The Three Ways Compared

Most people combine them: run LeadTrapper area by area with two or three keywords, then check the merged list before contacting anyone.

Tips for a Big Search

• Start with a limit. Try “Stop after” 50 to check the results are what you want, then run the full search.
• Run two or three keywords and combine the exports. The WhatsApp Number Filter removes duplicate numbers and keeps only the ones on WhatsApp.
• Expect empty email columns. Most businesses don’t list an email on Google Maps. The Email Finder (Contacts from Websites in the app) reads their contact and team pages.
• Google sometimes says no. After heavy searching Google Maps can slow down or refuse a search. LeadTrapper tries each area three times and tells you plainly; waiting a few minutes usually helps.
• Use the data responsibly. Read whether scraping Google Maps is legal before you start, and only contact businesses with an offer that fits them.

Once the list is ready, the WhatsApp Number Filter keeps the numbers that are on WhatsApp and the WhatsApp bulk sender messages them, in the same app. For the whole process from search to message, see how to scrape Google Maps for B2B leads, or compare tools in the best Google Maps scrapers.
