Why you can't export Google Maps to Excel directly
Google Maps is built for browsing one business at a time, not exporting hundreds. There's no download button, and copy-pasting listings by hand is slow, error-prone, and impossible at scale — a single city can have hundreds of matching businesses, and a whole state runs into the thousands.
A Google Maps scraper does the collecting for you: you describe what you want (a category and some locations), and it reads the public listings and writes them into a structured spreadsheet. MapsHarvest runs entirely in your browser — no Chrome extension, no proxies, no code — and hands you an Excel-ready file.

Pick a business category

Export to Excel, CSV, or JSON
Click download and choose XLSX (Excel), CSV, or JSON. Files are UTF-8 with BOM, so they open cleanly in Excel and Google Sheets with no formatting work.
What columns you get in your spreadsheet
Each row is one business, with up to 18 columns pulled live from Google Maps:
Note: MapsHarvest pulls everything publicly listed on Google Maps. It does not collect email addresses — email enrichment is on the roadmap as an optional add-on.
Excel, CSV, or JSON — which to pick
XLSX (Excel)
Native Excel format with formatting preserved. Best if you want to open, filter, and sort in Microsoft Excel right away.
CSV
Universal spreadsheet format that opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and every dialer and CRM. UTF-8 with BOM so accented characters render correctly. The safest choice for importing into other tools.
JSON
For developers piping the data into another app, script, or API. One object per business with all fields as key–value pairs.
Tips for a clean export
Use Smart Filters before you export+
Filter by minimum rating, review count, or whether a business has a website or phone — so your spreadsheet only contains leads that match your criteria and you don't waste credits.
Pick only the fields you need+
The Data Fields picker lets you choose which columns appear. Fewer columns means a cleaner, faster export that drops straight into a dialer.
Open CSVs in Google Sheets directly+
File → Import → Upload preserves every column. Because exports are UTF-8 with BOM, names with accents and special characters stay intact.
Send straight to Airtable or a webhook+
Skip the spreadsheet entirely — MapsHarvest can push results to Airtable or POST them to any webhook (Zapier, Make, n8n) so the data lands in your CRM automatically.
