How to Use a Google Maps Scraper for B2B Lead Generation

What Is a Google Maps Scraper?

A Google Maps scraper is a tool that automatically collects business data from Google Maps listings — the same information you would find by searching “dentist Dubai” and clicking through each result manually, but done automatically, in minutes instead of hours. The fields it returns — name, phone, address, rating, website — are the same public listing attributes Google documents in its Places API policies.

It is one piece of a broader B2B lead generation strategy — for how it compares to LinkedIn outreach, cold email, and paid contact databases, see how to do B2B lead generation for the full method breakdown.

If you only want a quick look at a search before you run a scan, the free Google Maps lead extractor extension for Edge reads the name, rating and address of the results on your screen into a CSV. It leaves out phone numbers and websites, which the scraper collects.

What Data Does LeadTrapper Scrape?

For every business, LeadTrapper exports 13 columns: the search zone, name, phone, WhatsApp link, email, website, social links, rating, review count, address, Maps link, services and prices. The phone number is exported as published on Maps. To see which numbers are on WhatsApp, run the list through the WhatsApp Number Filter before you message it.

Email, social links and the WhatsApp link are filled only when the business shows them on its own website, so expect gaps. In the real test (dentists in Amman, four areas, 160 businesses), the fill rates were:

This matters because most lead lists from purchased databases give you a name and phone number, and nothing else. A lead with a star rating and review count tells you immediately whether the business is active and established — before you make the first contact.

How to Run a Search

Open the Google Maps Scraper in LeadTrapper, enter the business type and city — for example “interior design company” in “Dubai” or “accountant” in “London” — set the optional result limit, and click Search. Rows start to appear after a minute or so and keep filling in while the scan runs. Each business is opened one at a time, at roughly seven a minute in the real test, so a big search takes minutes, not seconds. Click Export CSV to download the list when it finishes.

To scan one area only, search it on Google Maps yourself (for example “dentist Business Bay”), copy the address of the results page, switch LeadTrapper to Direct URL mode and paste it. That runs a single area instead of the district split, so the list is smaller and more local.

Best Use Cases by Industry

Real estate — Agents in Dubai, London, and Toronto scrape property management companies, landlords, and commercial brokers by area. A search for “property management company Jumeirah” returns every listed agency with a direct phone number. The same search in “Canary Wharf London” or “Downtown Toronto” works identically.

Marketing agencies — Agencies in Berlin, Singapore, and New York build prospect lists by scraping SMEs in their target sector — restaurants, clinics, fitness studios — and pitching their services directly on WhatsApp. At the pace of the real test, a 200-contact list takes about half an hour to scan.

Recruitment — Recruiters in Mumbai, São Paulo, and Istanbul scrape employers by industry sector and contact HR departments directly. One search for “IT company” in a city returns dozens of potential hiring clients with phone numbers and websites.

B2B services — Accountants, cleaning companies, and IT support firms in Lagos, Manila, and Jakarta find local businesses in their service area and run WhatsApp outreach within hours of identifying a new neighbourhood or sector to target.

Wholesale and distribution — Suppliers in Cairo and Mexico City find retailers and distributors by product category. One search for “electronics retailer” in a city returns every listed shop with direct contact details.

The same search works on other sources when your buyers are not on Maps — the instagram scraper for followers covers extracting contacts from Instagram audiences instead.

Countries and Cities Covered

LeadTrapper’s Google Maps Scraper works in any country where Google Maps has business listings. There is no geo-restriction in the tool: you type a business type and a city, and it searches that city.

Examples of markets you can point it at: UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah), Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah), Egypt (Cairo, Alexandria), United Kingdom (London, Manchester, Birmingham), United States (New York, Los Angeles, Miami), India (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore), Indonesia (Jakarta, Surabaya), Brazil (São Paulo, Rio), Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja), Turkey (Istanbul, Ankara), Canada (Toronto, Vancouver), Singapore, and Philippines (Manila, Cebu).

Google Maps Scraper Cost vs Competitors

Neither of these includes a WhatsApp sender, so you would pay for a separate tool to message the leads. LeadTrapper combines the scraper and the WhatsApp bulk sender in one $50/year purchase — no separate messaging subscription required.
