Google Maps Email Scraper

This workflow automates the extraction of business email addresses from Google Maps search results, streamlining lead generation by replacing manual web scraping. It processes user-defined queries through a form, crawls Google Maps for business URLs, extracts valid emails from websites, and outputs results to Google Sheets or JSON, saving hours per campaign. Ideal for sales teams or marketers managing 100+ leads monthly. The Form Trigger collects queries, a Code node validates inputs, another crawls Maps, a third extracts emails, and a final Code node formats outputs, ensuring efficient lead collection. The workflow saves ~4 hours weekly by automating 10+ search queries. Perfect for small businesses or marketing teams, it requires n8n and optional Google Sheets API access (~$5/month for basic usage). Scalability is limited by Google Maps rate limits and website access; moderate technical skills are needed. Install n8n from n8n.io or use cloud.n8n.io. Obtain Google Sheets API credentials from console.cloud.google.com if using Sheets output. Configure the Form Trigger with a URL like https://your-n8n-instance/form/devhubconnect-maps-scraper-form. Test with queries like dentist los angeles in the form, ensuring 5-50 max results per query. Activate in n8n. Monitor for errors like rate limits or invalid URLs in logs. Optimize by using specific queries, adjusting scraping speed (balanced recommended), and rotating IP addresses if blocked.", "businessValue": "Saves 4 hours/week automating 10+ search queries for lead generation", "setupTime": "30-45 minutes", "difficulty": "Intermediate", "requirements": [ "n8n (free/community or cloud), optional Google Sheets API", "API key for Google Sheets if used", "Stable internet, modern browser, moderate coding for setup" ], "useCase": "Automating business email extraction from Google Maps for lead generation"
