How to extract data from Google Maps with browser extension ?

This guide shows how to extract Google Maps business data using the G Maps Extractor browser extension. It is useful if you prefer working directly inside Google Maps and want to export business listings into a CSV file.

If you want a cloud-based workflow without installing anything, you can use the Google Maps Scraper Online. If you need JSON output or automated workflows, you can use the Google Maps Scraper API. This article focuses only on the browser extension method.

What Is the G Maps Extractor Browser Extension?

The G Maps Extractor browser extension helps you collect business information from Google Maps while you browse. Instead of copying listings one by one, you can search on Google Maps, run the extension, and export the results into a structured CSV file.

This workflow is best for users who want to stay inside Google Maps and visually check the search results before exporting them. For larger keyword jobs, bulk searches, or cloud processing, the Online Scraper is usually the better option.

What Data Can You Extract with the Browser Extension?

The browser extension can help you export useful business listing data from Google Maps, including:

• Business name - the name of the business or place listed on Google Maps.
• Address - the full business address, including street and city information when available.
• Phone number - the public phone number shown on the listing.
• Website - the business website linked from the Google Maps profile.
• Rating and review count - useful for local SEO research and competitor analysis.
• Category - the business type or category shown on the listing.
• Coordinates - latitude and longitude for location-based analysis.
• Email and social profiles - when they are available from public business websites or online sources.

When Should You Use the Browser Extension?

The browser extension is a good choice when you want to work directly inside Google Maps. For example, you may already be searching for “dentists in Chicago” or “restaurants in Austin” and want to export the visible business listings from that search.

Use the browser extension if:

• You prefer working inside Google Maps.
• You want to review the map results before exporting.
• You need a quick CSV from a search you are already running.
• You are working with smaller or more specific searches.

Use the Online Scraper instead if you want to run bulk keyword searches in the cloud without installing an extension. Use the API if you need JSON output, scheduled workflows, or CRM automation.
