Project Overview
This automation system is designed to extract verified business emails from Google Maps without relying on expensive APIs or manual scraping. It’s ideal for marketers, agencies, freelancers, and SaaS founders focused on hyperlocal lead generation at scale.
How It Works
- Enter a business type (e.g., “plumbers”) and a city (e.g., “Los Angeles”)
- The automation generates localized search terms like:
- plumbers in Hollywood
- plumbers in Echo Park
- plumbers in Downtown LA
- The system searches Google Maps using these terms and collects business listings
- It then visits the websites, filters out irrelevant domains, and scrapes homepage content
- Valid email addresses are extracted using advanced regex and logic
- Outputs a deduplicated, clean list of businesses with their contact information
Technologies Used
- n8n for no-code automation
- OpenAI for dynamic search term generation
- Zyte API for map data extraction
- JavaScript and Regex for precise email and URL filtering
- Structured output in CSV format for instant use
Key Benefits
- Fully automated workflow without coding
- No dependency on Google Places API
- Captures niche, hyperlocal business leads across any region
- Saves time and reduces manual labor
- Ready-to-use for cold outreach, CRM import, or sales prospecting
Outcome
A streamlined, scalable system for collecting verified email contacts from businesses listed on Google Maps—ready for immediate use in outreach and lead generation campaigns.
