Google Maps lead finder extension: common questions
Common questions about Google Map Leads
Do I need a Google API key?
No. The extension reads the public Google Maps page in your own browser.
Is it legal?
It collects publicly listed business details. You're responsible for how you contact businesses — follow the marketing rules where you and the business are, like GDPR and PECR in the UK or CAN-SPAM in the US.
Why fewer leads than listings?
Duplicates, sponsored repeats and your website or mobile filters are removed, and the scan opens each listing in turn.
What if Google shows a captcha?
The scan pauses so you can complete it, then you press Resume. Other hiccups recover automatically.
Which browsers work?
Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc on desktop.
