Google Maps scraper for local business search results

What this robot does

Google Maps is the world's largest local business directory, containing listings for hundreds of millions of businesses across every country. When users search Google Maps for a business type in a location - 'dentists in Chicago', 'Italian restaurants near me', 'plumbers in Austin' - the results display business names, star ratings, review counts, addresses, phone numbers, website URLs, and ranking positions. This data is the foundation of local lead generation, market research, and competitive analysis.

Sales teams use it to build prospect lists with verified contact information. Marketing agencies analyze local competitive landscapes for clients. Researchers study business density and distribution across geographies.

Real estate analysts assess commercial activity in neighborhoods. The data is public but scattered across hundreds of Google Maps search pages, making manual collection impossibly time-consuming for any serious analysis. This robot extracts business listing data from Google Maps search results into structured datasets.
