Quick start (install the Chrome extension)
Install the ready-made build (no coding)
- Go to Releases → latest and download
geoleadscraper-extension-vX.Y.Z.zip (not "Source code").
- Unzip it.
- Open
chrome://extensions → enable Developer mode → Load unpacked →
select the unzipped folder (the one that contains manifest.json).
⚠️ The green Code → Download ZIP button gives you the source code, not the
extension. Loading that folder fails with "Manifest file is missing or unreadable" —
use the Releases zip above, or build it yourself.
Build from source
Requirements: Node.js >= 20 and pnpm >= 9 (npm i -g pnpm).
pnpm install
pnpm build:extension
Then in Chrome: open chrome://extensions → enable Developer mode →
Load unpacked → select apps/extension/dist.
📖 Step-by-step install guide with screenshots: geoleadscraper.com/install.
Open Google Maps, search for anything (e.g. "coffee shops in Berlin"), click
Start extracting, then Export to download your CSV or Excel file. The extension works
standalone — Google Maps scraping needs no backend and no login.
To export reviews, open a single place (e.g. click a business in the results),
click Extract reviews, wait until the counter stops, then Export reviews.
The extension opens the Reviews tab and scrolls it for you; you need to be signed
in to Google, because Maps shows only a limited view without reviews to signed-out users.
Website contact enrichment (emails / phones / socials)
GeoLeadScraper includes an opt-in built-in standalone in-browser crawler that visits business websites with missing contacts before export. You can enable it in extension Settings ("Enrich missing email / phone"), which asks for permission to access websites at runtime.
It performs a fast, plain HTML fetch client-side in your browser with zero backend setup. Note that because it fetches raw HTML without rendering JavaScript, JS-only (SPA) websites won't yield contacts — for full JavaScript rendering, use the optional Puppeteer backend below. A live progress indicator shows real-time enrichment progress during export.
Optional: Puppeteer backend
For advanced users who prefer headless server-side crawling with JavaScript rendering:
pnpm dev:api
# or: cd apps/api && docker compose up --build
Then open extension Settings and set the Backend URL (default http://localhost:5050). When enabled, the backend is used if running; otherwise, the extension seamlessly falls back to the in-browser crawler.
Optional: MCP server (collect leads from Claude)
A built-in MCP server lets an AI assistant such as Claude run
collect_maps(...) to scrape businesses through the extension and analyze them.
See apps/api/MCP.md.

FAQ
Is this really a free Google Maps scraper?
Yes — 100% free and open-source (MIT). No account, no quotas, no trial, no

No. GeoLeadScraper reads the public Google Maps search results in your browser —

No paid limit. You can collect the businesses Google Maps returns for a search;
use a reasonable pace to stay within the platforms' terms of service.

Yes! You can enable "Enrich missing email / phone" in extension Settings. When enabled, GeoLeadScraper asks for permission to access websites and extracts emails, phone numbers, and social links from company websites during export.
