Build a local lead list from Google Maps by ZIP code

Searches Google Maps by ZIP code and business type, then saves clean, de-duplicated leads to a sheet.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each zip code and category pair; it retries when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Finding businesses in specific areas by searching Google Maps one ZIP code and category at a time is slow and repetitive. Copying results into a spreadsheet by hand also means duplicates and messy data creep in over time.

Who it fits

A sales or marketing team building targeted local lead lists at scale.

How it works

  1. A list of ZIP codes and business categories kicks off the search
  2. Google Maps is queried for matching business listings
  3. Duplicate results are automatically removed
  4. Rate limits are handled with automatic retries so nothing gets skipped
  5. Clean results are saved and tracked in Google Sheets
