Google Maps Search Export

Here's a tutorial to help you set up the Google Maps Search Export:

You have two options:

1. Process a single search
Type your search term directly into the Phantom's setup, or make your search on Google Maps then copy the search URL and paste it into the setup.

2. Process multiple searches
Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the Google Maps search URLs and paste them into your spreadsheet - one URL per row, all in column A.

Make this spreadsheet public so PhantomBuster can access it.

Copy the spreadsheet URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.

To make sure you get the most relevant results, choose the language you want to browse in. Specify this using the two-letter ISO code of the language - e.g. "en" for English, which will be used by default.

Next, choose how many results you'd like to extract from each specific Google Maps search.

The smaller the area per search, the more result possibilities. E.g. Searching "Restaurant Camden", "Restaurant Waterloo", and "Restaurant Notting Hill" will bring up more results that simply searching "Restaurant London".

Take note: Google Maps displays between 140-200 results for each search, so you won't be able to access any more than this. To get more, make your location search criteria more granular and use multiple different searches within the same wider area, as in the example above.

Google Maps will change the results it shows you based on where you are searching from. PhantomBuster's servers are located all around the world, which means your results may vary from launch to launch.

To ensure you get the results you're expecting, we'd recommend using a proxy near your location with Google Maps Phantoms and Flows to root your searches in one place.

For this purpose we recommend Bright Data's ISP proxies, which are reliable static residential proxies. You will be able to choose from a large pool of IP address locations.

PhantomBuster’s Domain Name Finder Automation uses public search engines to find a company’s main website domain. This short tutorial walks you through setting inputs, processing options, scheduling, and retrieving results.

• Matching limitations:

  Returns one main domain (best match) per company. Country & Language settings guide search context but cannot strictly restrict results to specific TLDs (e.g., .fr).

• Input requirements:

  Google Sheets must be public (anyone with the link); CSV URL input is available on paid plans only. No session cookies are required.

• Performance & Safety:

  Processes ~14 domains per minute using 1 slot. Search engines may temporarily block shared IPs if requests are too frequent; if stopped, wait ~15 minutes or use a proxy.

• Free plan limits:

  CSV exports include only the first 10 rows. JSON exports, dynamic CSV download links, and CSV uploads as inputs are unavailable.

1. Provide the company names:

   Choose an input source (My Lists, manual names, a Google Sheet/CSV URL, or My Phantoms), then optionally set Country & Language to guide the search context.

For spreadsheet/CSV inputs, the Phantom reads column A by default. To target a different column, specify its header name in the input settings.

• Configure processing settings:

  Add any domains to ignore, set how many companies to process per launch for spreadsheet/CSV inputs, and optionally rename the results file.

"Number of companies to process per launch" applies only to spreadsheet/CSV inputs (default 100). Renaming the results file between launches will create a new file and restart processing from scratch.

• Select launch frequency:

  Run manually, schedule a one-time run, launch repeatedly, trigger it after another Phantom, or use Advanced scheduling for precise timing.

• Optional: Adjust advanced settings:

  Keep defaults unless you need to fine-tune execution limits, retries, notifications, proxies, webhooks, or file management.

• Launch and retrieve results:

  Click Launch, then open the Results tab to view found domains and download or export your results.
