Google Maps Email Scraper System

Most lead generation tools charge $2–$5 per lead and lock you into expensive subscriptions.
This workflow lets you scrape unlimited business emails from Google Maps for free — no paid APIs required.

Benefits

  • Zero API costs – scrape data directly from Google Maps
  • Unlimited leads – extract thousands of emails per day
  • Geographic targeting – search by city, region, or business type
  • Complete automation – from search to clean email list
  • Built-in data cleaning – removes duplicates & invalid entries

How It Works

  1. Reads search queries from a Google Sheet (e.g., "Calgary dentist")
  2. Sends HTTP requests to Google Maps and scrapes business listings
  3. Extracts website URLs with custom JavaScript regex
  4. Visits each site, scrapes HTML, and finds email addresses
  5. Cleans and validates data
  6. Exports organized lead list back to Google Sheets

Who Is This For

  • B2B sales teams generating leads for outreach
  • Marketing agencies building client lead databases
  • Local businesses researching competitors & partners
  • Real estate professionals analyzing target neighborhoods
  • Franchise developers scouting new markets

Setup

  • Create a Google Sheet with two tabs: “searches” & “emails”
  • Add search queries to the “searches” tab (one per row)
  • Connect Google Sheets OAuth credentials in n8n
  • Configure HTTP request nodes with SSL ignore enabled
  • Add custom JavaScript regex code for URL and email extraction

ROI & Monetization

  • $0 per lead vs. $2–$5 from paid tools
  • Generate 1,000+ leads per day without hitting API limits
  • Sell lead lists or offer as a $500–$2,000 per niche/location service
  • Perfect upsell for agencies offering outreach or local SEO

Strategy Insights

In the YouTube walkthrough, I show how to:

  • Write custom JavaScript + regex for clean URL extraction
  • Build a robust loop system with error handling & rate limiting
  • Avoid IP blocking with batching & delays
  • Sell lead generation as a high-margin recurring service
  • Automate outreach to monetize the leads you scrape
