Runs on your machine, not a shared proxy pool
Extraction happens locally through your own connection at a human request cadence. There is no shared cloud IP to get rate-limited behind, and no API key to provision.

Google Map Data Extractor & Google Maps scraper for B2B lead generation
Lead Finder is a desktop Google Maps scraper and data extractor for Windows and Mac. A single Google Maps search stops at roughly 120 results. Lead Finder subdivides the map into a search grid, sweeps every cell, and merges what comes back, so you export the whole city, not the first page of it.

What is a Google Map data extractor?
A Google Map data extractor is software that collects publicly listed business information from Google Maps and exports it as a structured spreadsheet. A typical export contains the business name, phone number, website, full address, star rating, review count and category, written out as CSV or Excel for import into a CRM. The same category of tool is also sold as a Google Maps scraper, a Google Maps data extractor or a Google Map lead extractor; the names differ, the job does not.
Extractors differ mainly in how they handle Google's per-query result ceiling. A single Google Maps search returns roughly 120 listings regardless of how many businesses exist in the area, because the limit applies to the query rather than to the city. Tools that exceed it divide the target area into a grid of smaller areas, search each one separately, then merge and de-duplicate the results. Lead Finder is a desktop extractor that uses this grid method, running locally on Windows or macOS rather than through a cloud API.
§ 01 / Demo
See a full extraction, start to finish
A real run: category and city in, grid sweep, CSV out. Three minutes, no narration shortcuts.
§ 02 / Method
How do you extract more than 120 results?
The 120-result ceiling is a property of a single query, not of Google Maps itself. Run many smaller queries and the ceiling stops mattering.
- 01
Define the search
Enter a business category and a target area, for example "dentist, Manchester" or "HVAC contractor, Phoenix metro". Set the grid resolution based on how dense the area is.
- 02
Run the grid scan
Lead Finder divides the area into cells and searches each one in sequence, merging results and dropping duplicates by place ID as it goes. Progress auto-saves, so a dropped connection costs you nothing.
- 03
Export to CSV
Write out every column to CSV or Excel. Columns map cleanly onto HubSpot, Pipedrive, Instantly and Lemlist imports without reshaping.
§ 03 / Interface
One window, one job
Search on the left, live grid progress in the middle, results table below. Everything writes to disk as it goes, so closing the laptop does not cost you the run.
Every row exports these fields
- Business name
- Phone number
- Website URL
- Full address
- Latitude / longitude
- Star rating
- Review count
- Category
- Opening hours
- Social links
§ 04 / Capabilities
What makes it suitable for city-scale jobs?
Flat licence, unlimited rows
One price per year regardless of volume. Cloud extractors bill per thousand rows, so a single 50,000-row metro sweep can cost more than a year of Lead Finder.
Resumable campaigns
Every campaign keeps its own state on disk. Stop a 40,000-row job overnight, reopen it tomorrow, and it continues from the last completed grid cell.
De-duplication built in
Grid cells overlap at their boundaries by design, so the same business appears in several cells. Results are keyed on place ID and collapsed before they ever reach your CSV.
§ 05 / Cost
When is a flat licence cheaper than per-row billing?
Per-row cloud pricing is cheaper at small volumes. The crossover comes fast. These are list prices at the time of writing; check current rates before deciding.
| Rows extracted per year | Typical cloud extractor | Lead Finder |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 | ~$10 | $20 |
| 25,000 | ~$50 | $20 |
| 100,000 | ~$200 | $20 |
| 500,000 | ~$1,000 | $20 |
Cloud figures assume a $2 per 1,000 rows list rate, which is mid-range for the category. See the full tool-by-tool comparison.

Frequently asked
What is a Google Map data extractor?
A Google Map data extractor is software that collects publicly listed business information from Google Maps (business name, phone number, website, address, star rating, review count and category) and exports it as a structured CSV or Excel file for CRM import and B2B outreach. Lead Finder is a desktop extractor, so it runs on your own machine and your own IP rather than through a cloud API.
Is a Google Maps scraper the same as a Google Map data extractor?
Yes. Google Maps scraper, Google Maps data extractor, Google Map lead extractor and Google Maps business data tool all describe software that reads publicly listed Google Maps business information and exports it to a spreadsheet. Vendors pick different names for marketing reasons. What actually differs between products is the delivery model (desktop application, cloud API or browser extension), the pricing model (flat licence or per row), and whether the tool can recover listings past the 120-result per-query ceiling.
Can a Google Maps extractor get email addresses?
Only sometimes, and no tool can do it reliably. Google Maps listings do not have an email field. Any extractor that reports emails is visiting the website linked on the listing and looking for a published address. Realistic coverage is 20 to 40 percent of rows, lower in trades where many businesses have no website at all. Treat a tool advertising near-complete email coverage with suspicion: it is either guessing patterns such as info@domain, which bounce and damage your sending reputation, or reselling a third-party database.
Why does Google Maps stop at 120 results, and how does Lead Finder get past it?
A single Google Maps search returns at most about 120 listings regardless of how many businesses actually exist in that area. Lead Finder splits the target area into a grid of smaller geographic cells and searches each cell separately, then merges and de-duplicates the results. Because each cell returns its own set of listings, total coverage scales with the number of cells rather than being capped at 120.
What fields does the CSV export contain?
Business name, phone number, website URL, full address, latitude and longitude, star rating, review count, business category, opening hours where published, and social profile links where the business lists them. Email is captured when the business publishes one on its linked website.
How much does Lead Finder cost?
A retail licence is $20 or ₹1,499 per year for one PC, with unlimited extraction and no per-row charges. A free demo runs the full interface so you can test extraction before paying.
Is it a desktop app or a Chrome extension?
A desktop application for Windows 10, Windows 11 and macOS 11 or newer. Chrome extensions are limited by the browser tab they run in and typically cap out in the low hundreds of rows per session. Running as a desktop app means extraction continues across long jobs, auto-saves locally, and resumes after a disconnection.
Is extracting business data from Google Maps legal?
Lead Finder collects business information that Google Maps publishes publicly, which is generally treated differently from personal data. You remain responsible for how you use it: B2B outreach is regulated by GDPR in the EU, CAN-SPAM in the US, and equivalent local rules elsewhere, and Google Maps has its own terms of service. Review the rules that apply to your jurisdiction and campaign before you start outreach.
