## Introduction

Google Maps contains data on millions of local businesses worldwide. Extracting this data manually is slow and error-prone. Bolt Scraper automates the process, letting you extract hundreds of business records per search in minutes.

## What Data Can You Extract?

- Business name, address, city, state, ZIP
- Phone number & WhatsApp number
- Email address (from GMB profile or website)
- Website URL
- Google Maps URL & Place ID
- Rating & review count
- Business categories
- Business hours
- Social media links (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter)
- Coordinates

## Step-by-Step Guide

### Step 2: Open Google Maps

Go to maps.google.com in your Chrome browser.

### Step 3: Search for Your Target

Type your keyword and location in the Google Maps search bar. For example: "dentists in Chicago" or "restaurants in London".

### Step 4: Start Scraping

1. Click the Bolt Scraper extension icon
2. Click "Start Scraping"
3. The extension automatically scrolls through results and collects data

### Step 5: Enable Ultra Mode (Optional)

For maximum results, enable Ultra Mode. This processes sub-pages and additional result sets, yielding 200–300+ leads per keyword vs the standard ~120.

### Step 6: Export Your Data

When scraping completes:
- **CSV** — Universal format for any spreadsheet tool
- **XLSX** — Opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets
- **Google Sheets** — Auto-saves to your Drive
- **Google Drive** — Direct CSV upload to Drive

## Tips for Maximum Results

1. **Use specific keywords** — "Italian restaurant" vs "restaurant" returns more targeted leads
2. **Use Ultra Mode** — Gets 2–3x more results per keyword
3. **Multiple locations** — Use Keywords Generator to create city+keyword combinations
4. **Background mode** — Enable background scraping and run overnight for bulk campaigns

## Legal Considerations

Scraping publicly available data from Google Maps is legal. Google's public business listings are public data protected under First Amendment principles. Always use data responsibly and comply with applicable anti-spam laws for outreach.
