Export Google Maps Data to CSV or Excel, Step by Step

Collecting leads from Google Maps is only half the job, the data is useless until it’s in a clean file your tools can read. A messy export with merged columns and duplicate rows creates more work than it saves. Here’s how to get Google Maps business data into a tidy CSV or Excel sheet that’s ready for outreach.

What a clean export looks like

Before you export anything, know what “good” looks like. A usable lead file has one business per row and one field per column:

business_name	phone	website	email	category	rating	reviews	address

Consistent headers matter because your CRM or cold-email platform maps columns by name. Get this right once and every import afterward is a two-click job.

The slow way: copy and paste

You can build the file by hand, click a listing, copy the name, paste it, copy the phone, paste it, repeat. It works for a handful of leads but breaks down fast:

• Duplicates creep in across searches.
• Phone and address formats drift (some have country codes, some don’t).
• Typos from manual copying corrupt your sends.

For anything beyond a dozen leads, automate it.

The fast way: scrape, then export

A browser extension captures every field in a structured form, so the export is clean by design. The workflow:

1. Search your niche + city on Google Maps.
2. Capture the results, name, phone, website, email, rating, reviews, category, address, in one pass. (See How to Scrape Leads from Google Maps.)
3. Filter to the leads that fit your offer.
4. Export to CSV or Excel, or send the list straight to your inbox.

Because the data was structured from the start, you get proper columns and no copy-paste errors.

CSV or Excel, which should you pick?

• CSV, universal. Every CRM and cold-email tool imports it. Choose this for uploads.
• Excel (.xlsx), better if a human will sort, tag or annotate the list before it goes anywhere.

When in doubt, export CSV. It’s the lingua franca of data imports.

Getting it into your stack

Once you have the file:

• CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Close): use the CSV import wizard and map columns by header.
• Cold email (Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist): upload the CSV as a lead list; map email, business_name and any custom fields.
• Spreadsheet: open directly and start filtering or enriching.

De-duplicate before you send

The one step people skip: remove duplicates. If you scraped several searches in one city, the same business appears more than once. A good scraper de-duplicates automatically; if yours doesn’t, sort by phone or website in your spreadsheet and remove repeats before importing. Emailing the same owner three times is the fastest way to get marked as spam.

Wrapping up

A clean export is the difference between a lead list you can use today and a spreadsheet you have to fix first. Scrape into a structured format, filter, de-duplicate, and export to CSV, then it drops straight into your workflow. Google Leads Scraper handles all of it for free; add it to Chrome and start today.
