How to scrape Google Maps business listings
Extract leads from Google Maps straight into a Google Sheet. Name, address, phone, website, rating, and category. No API key needed.
Why your current scraper doesn't cut it
The Google Places API charges per lookup and caps you at 60k results per search. Most Maps scrapers require a Python environment or a paid tool that bills by the lead. All of them break when Google changes the Maps DOM.
Stekpad runs in the same Chrome tab you search from. You type the query, Stekpad clicks through the results pane, and rows stream into your Google Sheet. No API quota, no Python, no broken selectors.
How to do it with Stekpad
- 1
Open Google Maps and search for your niche
Search "dentist Paris 75011", "plumber Berlin", or whatever niche + city combo you need leads for. Zoom in until you see the results list on the left. - 2
Click a business name in the list
Stekpad detects the list pattern automatically. It highlights every matching result: name, address, phone, website, rating, reviews count, category. - 3
Let Stekpad scroll through the full result set
The extension scrolls the results pane and collects every business as it renders. For 100+ results, this takes about a minute. No manual clicking. - 4
Push to Google Sheets (or Notion, or Airtable)
Every row lands in your destination. Re-run the recipe for a new city and the same sheet gets fresh leads.

Is Web Scraping Legal in 2026? A Practical Guide
Authoritative legal overview covering: hiQ v. LinkedIn (public data scraping is generally lawful in the US), CFAA limits (don't bypass authentication mechanisms you weren't authorized to access), GDPR considerations for EU personal data, robots.txt (advisory, not legally binding), and ToS clauses (civil risk, not criminal). Structured as a decision tree: if you're scraping public data → generally fine; if behind a login → only safe if it's your own session; if personal data of EU citizens → add anonymization.
