  • Location: By city, ZIP code, or neighborhood.

Step 2: Use Google Maps Efficiently

  • Search with precise keywords (“Italian restaurants in Chicago”).
  • Zoom into micro-zones for better accuracy.

Step 3: Export & Format Data

Tools now allow you to:

  • Pull 500+ businesses instantly.
  • Export into Excel/TSV.
  • Clean phone numbers and addresses.

Step 4: Enrich & Filter

  • Add public e-mail addresses automatically.
  • Filter by: Category, Zip, Website, e-mail, phone, review score, number of reviews, etc.

Real Agency Workflow

📍 Case Study: A digital marketing agency in Miami:

  • Area: Miami metropolitan
  • Niche (search term): “Dentists”.
  • 738 results exported in 2 minutes.
  • Uploaded into HubSpot → sequences running same day.

Pro Tips
