How to scrape Google Maps for local business leads, step by step
This is the workflow we use ourselves. It works with any Google Maps scraper, and the steps are the same for EverScrape.
1. Pick one niche
Choose a business type with a clear service, for example "HVAC contractor" or "dentist". The narrower the niche, the better your message can be. Don't mix niches in one list.
2. Pick an area
Start with one state or region. Big areas are fine, but test on a small one first so you can check the quality before you wait for thousands of leads.
3. Collect the listings
The scraper searches Google Maps and saves name, address, phone, website, category and rating. In EverScrape you pick the niche and the states on a map, set how many leads you want and press start. About 1,000 leads take 10 to 20 minutes.
4. Check the phone numbers
Sort the numbers into mobile, landline and VoIP. If you plan to text, keep the mobile ones. If you plan to call, you can keep landlines too, but expect to reach a front desk. See Mobile, landline or VoIP.
5. Clean the list
- Remove duplicates (same phone or same website).
- Remove businesses that don't fit your niche. Google Maps sometimes returns related businesses.
- Remove chains, if you sell to independent owners.
6. Export and test
Export to CSV and load it into your CRM or dialer. Start with 50 contacts, see what happens, and only then send the rest.
