Google Maps Email Extractor

Turn Google Maps businesses into a lead list with a verified contact email. Two ways to run it, both with no proxy.

• Search mode: give a query like "dentists in Austin TX" plus your own Google Places API key. You get the businesses, and each one enriched with a contact email.
• Enrich mode: already have a list of business websites from any Google Maps scraper? Paste them and get a verified email per site. No API key needed.

The email is the part that matters, and it is the part most scrapers skip. This one scans the homepage, then the contact and about pages if needed, and verifies the email against live MX records so you are not exporting dead addresses.

How it works

flowchart LR
    A[Query + your Google key] --> B[Google Places: businesses + website]
    A2[Or: paste website list] --> C
    B --> C[For each site]
    C --> D[Scan homepage, then contact and about pages]
    D --> E[Pick best email, prefer on-domain]
    E --> F[MX verify the email domain]
    F --> G[One lead: business, phone, website, email, verified]

Each lead row

• business, address, phone
• website and domain
• email, emails (all found), email_verified (MX checked)
• rating, rating_count
• source, fetched_at

Why your own Google key

A raw Maps scrape needs paid proxies and fights Google's anti bot. Using the official Places API with your own key is reliable, cheap, and Google gives a monthly free credit that covers most lead runs. You pay Google directly for the search, nothing hidden. Enrich mode needs no key at all.

Standby / API mode

GET /enrich?website=example-dentist.com
GET /search?query=dentists in Austin&key=YOUR_GOOGLE_KEY&limit=20

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.25 per batch run, $0.04 per business lead, $0.10 per lead with an MX verified email. Leads without an email only pay the per lead rate.

Notes

Email hit rate is highest for small and mid size local businesses, which are the useful outreach targets. Big national chains rarely publish a plain email. The scan stays on each business's own site, so no proxy is used and the run is cheap.
