detail.loadingPreview
This workflow automates the process of generating high-quality leads by extracting detailed business information directly from Google Maps. It searches for businesses based on specified categories and zip codes, then seamlessly organizes all collected data into a Google Sheet. Equipped with robust error handling, it ensures reliable data collection for your sales and marketing efforts.
About This Workflow
Discover the power of automated lead generation with this n8n workflow, designed to revolutionize how you gather business intelligence. By leveraging the Google Maps Places API, this solution efficiently scrapes comprehensive data like business names, phone numbers, websites, addresses, ratings, and customer reviews. Define your target categories and geographic areas (via zip codes) in a Google Sheet, and watch as the workflow populates another sheet with valuable leads, ready for outreach. It intelligently handles API rate limits with an exponential backoff mechanism, ensuring uninterrupted data collection and maximum efficiency. Perfect for sales teams, marketers, and researchers seeking targeted business data.
Key Features
- Automated Google Maps Data Extraction: Effortlessly pull detailed business information (name, address, phone, website, rating, reviews, GPS coordinates) from Google Maps Places API.
- Google Sheets Integration: Use Google Sheets to define search parameters (categories, zip codes) and save all extracted lead data directly into a structured spreadsheet.
- Robust Error Handling: Built-in exponential backoff and retry logic manage API rate limits gracefully, preventing interruptions and ensuring reliable data collection.
- Targeted Lead Generation: Specify precise business categories and geographical areas to generate highly relevant leads tailored to your needs.
- Customizable Data Fields: Collect a rich array of data points including business type, contact details, performance metrics, and location specifics.
How To Use
- Configure Google Credentials: Set up your Google OAuth2 API credentials for both Google Maps (Places API) and Google Sheets within n8n.
- Prepare Input Google Sheet: Create a Google Sheet with columns for "Subcategory" (e.g., "restaurants", "dentists") and "zip" codes you want to search. This workflow expects a 'Settings' sheet to retrieve the URL of your input sheet.
- Prepare Output Google Sheet: Create an empty Google Sheet where the extracted lead data will be saved.
- Update 'Settings' Node: Ensure the (implied) 'Settings' node correctly points to your input and output Google Sheet URLs and names.
- Execute Workflow: Manually trigger the workflow, or enable the
scheduleTriggernode for periodic lead generation. The workflow will read your search criteria, query Google Maps, and populate your output sheet.
