One business query, one area, the complete list.
You describe what you're looking for — "bakery, Chicago", "law firm, Greater London", "auto repair shop, Berlin". outsend queries Google Maps like a human, across all results, and delivers a clean CSV. No credit quota, no "200 results max" cap.
Whether you're preparing a B2B outreach campaign, a market research study, or a niche software project, you need a clean list of businesses targeted by industry and geography. Google Maps already has all the data — name, address, phone, website, reviews, hours — but none of it is exportable with a single click. The usual trade-off: hours of manual copy-pasting, or a $80–150/month subscription with a monthly quota cap.
outsend's Google Maps scraping feature is built to solve exactly this: extract a qualified list of businesses by business query + geographic area, with all available public fields, and an immediate CSV/JSON/XLSX export. Free in alpha, invite-only, no commitment.
Three steps, ten minutes per batch
You describe the target, the tool browses Google Maps like a human, and sends back a clean file — not a raw JSON dump.
Describe your target with two parameters
A business query (bakery, auto repair shop, law firm, real estate agency, carpentry…) + a geographic area (city, region, postal code, or GPS bounding box for rural areas without clear administrative boundaries).
zone: "Berlin"
outsend fetches all relevant results
Not just the first 20 visible results. The tool subdivides the area when needed to bypass Google's 120-results-per-viewport cap, and keeps only unique listings. For each business returned: business name, full address, phone number, website, primary category, average rating, review count, opening hours, exact GPS coordinates.
Download a file in your format of choice
CSV for Excel/Google Sheets, JSON for programmatic processing, XLSX for sharing a pre-formatted spreadsheet. No "per-row credit", no "200 results max per query" — the alpha delivers the full list available on Google Maps.
All public fields, in order
The columns you'll find in your exported file, exactly as Google Maps exposes them publicly.

Three typical use cases
Local B2B outreach by industry vertical
A sales rep selling workshop management software needs a list of 500 auto repair shops in a given region, with phone numbers and websites to qualify later. A B2B supplier wants to target 800 dental practices across a metro area. Without a tool, this kind of targeting takes 30 to 60 hours by hand.
Market research and MVP projects
A developer building a SaaS for tradespeople wants to map the market: how many active plumbers are there across the 10 largest cities, what's the average size, and how strong is their digital presence (website, Google Maps rating)? Scraping combined with a quick analysis produces that snapshot in a few hours.
Targeted individual outreach
A student targeting 200 marketing agencies for unsolicited applications can build their list from Google Maps instead of spending 40 hours on LinkedIn. Business query + location targeting works just as well for non-commercial use cases — as long as you personalise each message afterwards.
The market: credit-based pricing or monthly caps
| Tool | Model | Cap | Integrated pipeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outscraper | Credit-based API | ~$20–30 / a few thousand rows | No (EN only, no business registry) |
| Scrap.io | Subscription | ~€35/mo with monthly quota | Single-feature only |
| Phantombuster | Credits + execution hours | $69/mo · 20h across all Phantoms | No |
| outsend | All-in-one · free alpha | No row cap in alpha | Yes · full prospecting pipeline |
Outscraper publishes its pricing publicly. Phantombuster: starting at $69/mo. Scrap.io is a single-feature tool you'd need to stack with Hunter + Lemlist (see our analysis of stacked tool setups).
Compliance — scraping publicly available data
Scraping public Google Maps data falls under the legitimate interest basis according to the CNIL's position on web harvesting — provided the data is genuinely public (as is the case with Google Maps), individuals can opt out, and the use is proportionate. The email deliverability verification step remains critical before any outreach. Under GDPR, your organisation is the data controller for any personal data you collect and use.
What this feature does
- All public fields displayed on Google Maps
- Full area coverage (not just the first 20 results)
- Automatic subdivision of dense areas (no gaps)
- Export as CSV / JSON / XLSX
What it doesn't do
- No director name, company ID, headcount → cross-reference a business registry
- No professional email → use the outsend email finder
- No direct social profiles → use the social extractor
- No individual reviews → use the review scraper

Is Google Maps scraping legal?
Yes, under certain conditions. Collecting publicly available data is recognised as legitimate under the legitimate interest basis — provided the data is genuinely public (as is the case with Google Maps), individuals can opt out, and the use is proportionate. Scraping Google Maps itself is not prohibited; what can be problematic is abusive use (mass outreach without opt-out, selling data lists, etc.). Under GDPR, you are responsible for how you use the data you collect.
What's the difference between a scraper and scraping?
A scraper is the tool (software) that performs the scraping operation (the act of automated data extraction). The terms "Google Maps scraper" (the tool) and "Google Maps scraping" (the action) are used interchangeably. For a full definition, see our page on what scraping means.
How many businesses can be extracted in one session?
In the free alpha, there is no strict row cap. The number of businesses returned depends on the query — a rare trade in a rural area might yield 30 results, while a high-density trade in a major metro can return several thousand. The tool manages the pace to avoid automated blocks and subdivides dense areas so no listing is missed.
Can I extract emails directly from Google Maps?
No. Google Maps does not store email addresses for businesses. To find the professional email of a contact at an extracted company, you need a complementary email finder feature that searches the company's own website. That's exactly what outsend does as an integrated pipeline — see the email finder page.
What export formats are supported?
CSV (for Excel or Google Sheets), JSON (for programmatic processing or CRM import), XLSX (for sharing a pre-formatted spreadsheet). You choose the format at export time.
Can I filter results by Google Maps rating or review count?
Yes, after extraction. The export includes the average rating and review count, so you can filter in Excel/Sheets to keep only businesses with a rating above 4.5/5 or more than 50 reviews, for example. Handy for quickly qualifying your list before outreach.
