Frequently Asked Questions

Maps Automation is a Chrome extension designed to help businesses and professionals extract public business data from map platforms instantly. It automates the process of finding leads, saving you hours of manual research.

Simply install the extension, go to your preferred map platform (like Google Maps), search for a business category in a location (e.g., "Restaurants in New York"), and click the extension. It will automatically scroll through results and extract data points like name, phone, email, and website into a downloadable file.

Maps Automation is optimized for the most popular map platforms, including Google Maps. It works globally across all regions supported by these platforms.

You can extract over 25 data points including Business Name, Address, Phone Number, Website, Email (if public), Social Media Links, Rating, Review Count, Operating Status, Coordinates, and more.

The data is as accurate as the source. Since the tool extracts real-time data directly from live listings on the map platform, you get the most up-to-date information available.

Every new user gets 100 free scrapes to test the full functionality of the tool. There is no time limit on using these credits, but once they are used, you’ll need to upgrade for unlimited access.

All paid plans (Weekly, Monthly, Annual) offer the same features: unlimited extraction, priority support, and all export formats. The only difference is the subscription duration and the cost savings on longer plans.
