Brief

Use this BrowserAct template to collect structured local business listings from public Google Maps search results without writing code. The bot searches Google Maps with your configurable location and search query, opens each matching place page, and returns clean local business records for lead generation, market research, and directory building. The default example uses dental clinics in Austin, TX, but the search query is configurable.

What Does BrowserAct Google Maps Business Scraper Do?

Google Maps Business Scraper turns public Google Maps search results into structured business records. Instead of copying listings manually, you can set a location, business keyword, and result count, then run a tested BrowserAct Bot that visits each public place page and extracts the visible business details.

Key Features of Google Maps Business Scraper

  • Configurable search: change Location, Search Query, and Count without rebuilding the bot.
  • Detail-page extraction: opens each place page to capture fields that are not reliably available from the list view.
  • Structured output: returns records in a consistent results array.
  • Public-page workflow: designed for visible Google Maps listing data that does not require login.
  • Export-ready records: use the output for market research, local lead lists, directory updates, or enrichment.

How Does it Work?

BrowserAct scraper bot workflow

  1. You provide a location, search query, and result count.
  2. BrowserAct searches Google Maps using those inputs.
  3. BrowserAct collects place URLs from the public search results feed.
  4. BrowserAct opens each place page to read detailed business fields.
  5. BrowserAct returns a structured results array that you can download or reuse.

How to Build a New Scraper Bot with Agent Built

Step 1: Describe the data you need

Open BrowserAct and start Agent Built from the Home prompt box or from Create -> Build with Agent. Paste a clear request that includes the website, the records to collect, the filters or search conditions, the fields to return, the result limit, and the inputs you want to reuse later.

Start Agent Built from the BrowserAct Home prompt box

Step 2: Let BrowserAct build and test the bot

BrowserAct explores the live website, works out the navigation and extraction path, and validates the result. If BrowserAct asks for clarification, reply in the same build conversation with the missing URL, condition, field, example, or expected output.

Step 3: Run the bot and review the result

When the build is complete, run the bot with the default inputs first. Review the structured records, source URLs, missing fields, and row count before reusing the bot with new inputs or connecting it to another workflow.

Automation and Export

BrowserAct automation and export workflow

After the bot run completes, BrowserAct first returns structured Google Maps business records. You can then connect that output to downstream tools and workflows:

  • API: call the built Bot through the BrowserAct API and receive JSON results for downstream systems.
  • n8n: trigger the Bot from an n8n workflow, then route business names, websites, phone numbers, ratings, and source URLs to sheets, CRMs, alerts, or enrichment steps.
  • Make: run the Bot from a Make scenario and map each Google Maps result field into your existing business apps.
  • Zapier: send structured records into Zaps for lead routing, notifications, CRM updates, or spreadsheet rows.
  • MCP-based agents: use the Bot's structured output as a tool result or context source for agent workflows that operate through MCP-compatible infrastructure.
  • Manual export: download the output for spreadsheet review, lead QA, local market research, or one-off analysis.
