Sometimes, you might notice that the contact details of places on Google Maps seem incomplete. Here’s a tutorial on how to complete your database with phone numbers, emails, addresses, ZIP codes, and social media details from places registered on Google Maps.
Does Google Maps include all business contact details?
No. Google Maps is an ever-expanding database of free business data: marketers can find place names, addresses, phone numbers, and official websites. However, Google Maps does not provide information on business email addresses or social media accounts to reach out through.
Luckily, most businesses list their contact details in one place—their websites, which are often mentioned on their Google Maps detail cards. For instance, this New York place does not indicate its email or socials on Google Maps but lists its official website.
When we head over to their website and its Contact section, we can often find all the missing contact details. So will we go with this flow for every place we are interested in?
No, let's save time and use a tool to extract and combine the basic contact information from Google Maps with extra contact info found on places’ websites. Using Google Maps Email Extractor 🔗, you can extract business contact data from Google Maps on a large scale. The tool allows you to retrieve not only comprehensive contact information, including business address, all listed phone numbers, emails, and social account names, but also any other listed details from companies registered on the platform.
