Google Maps Chrome Extension to Extract Business Leads — Free
June 2026 · 6 min read · By GrabNear
Every sales rep, marketing agency, and business owner who prospecting for clients eventually hits the same wall: Google Maps has exactly the leads you need, but there's no built-in way to export them. You'd have to manually open each business listing, copy the phone number, paste it into a spreadsheet, and repeat — for hundreds of results.
The GrabNear Chrome extension eliminates that entirely. Install it once, search Google Maps as you normally would, and the extension automatically extracts every business's phone number, website, address, rating, and photo — all in real time, as you watch.
The GrabNear Chrome extension is free to use. No subscription, no credit card. Export to CSV directly from the extension or save leads to your GrabNear dashboard.
What the Extension Extracts
For every business in a Google Maps search result, the extension captures:
📞
Phone Number
Direct phone number from the business's Google Maps listing — mobile or landline.
🌐
Website
The business's official website URL, extracted directly from their Maps profile.
📍
Address
Full street address as listed on Google Maps.
⭐
Rating & Category
Star rating and business category (e.g. "Software Company", "Restaurant").
🖼️
Business Photo
Hero image from the business's Google Maps profile — useful for identifying leads visually.
🔗
Google Maps URL
Direct link to the business's Google Maps listing for follow-up.
How to Use It — Step by Step

Install the GrabNear Chrome Extension
Search for "GrabNear" on the Chrome Web Store and click "Add to Chrome". It takes 10 seconds.
Step 2
Open Google Maps and Search

You'll see each business card fill in with phone, website, address and image as the extension scans. A progress bar shows how many businesses have been processed. Use Load More to scan the next page of results.

Load More — Scan Beyond the First Page
Google Maps shows around 20 results per page. The GrabNear extension's Load More button automatically scrolls to load the next batch of results and continues extracting — so you can collect 50, 100, or more leads from a single search without navigating away.
Export CSV — Works Without an Account
You don't need a GrabNear account to use Export CSV. Once the extension has scanned the results, click Export CSV and the file downloads immediately to your computer. The CSV includes all columns — name, phone, category, rating, address, website, Maps URL, and image URL — and opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets.
