About Google Map Extractor Genie
Need to pull real-world business data from Google Maps without the manual headache? I built this actor because I got tired of copying and pasting. The Google Map Extractor Genie does the tedious work for you. It goes in, searches just like you would, and pulls out structured data like business names, addresses, phone numbers, and website links. It also grabs customer reviews and ratings, which is gold for understanding local competition. I use it mainly for two things: building lead lists for sales outreach and analyzing new markets. If you're in e-commerce or local services, you can find suppliers or scout locations. For developers, it's a straightforward way to get clean location data into your app without building a scraper from scratch. You just tell it what to search for and where, and it returns everything in a neat dataset. It saves hours of work, and the data is ready for a CRM, spreadsheet, or your next analysis project. It’s become a go-to in my toolkit for any project that needs reliable, up-to-date local business info.
