About the Automate Google Maps to Sheets: n8n Workflow for SEO Pros
Transform your local SEO research and lead generation with this powerful n8n workflow that automatically scrapes Google Maps business listings and organizes them into Google Sheets. Perfect for sales teams, marketers, and SEO professionals who need to collect competitor data or build prospect lists without tedious manual work.
What this workflow does
This Google Maps automation streamlines business data collection through a simple web form interface. Users submit a search query with city, country, and business type (like "restaurants in Lyon, France"), and the workflow handles everything else. It automatically creates a new Google Spreadsheet named after your search parameters, then sends a POST request to the Apify Google Maps scraper actor to extract up to 50 matching business listings.
The workflow intelligently maps key business data including titles, pricing, categories, addresses, phone numbers, websites, and operating status directly into your spreadsheet. Results are automatically appended or updated, giving you clean, structured data ready for outreach campaigns or competitive analysis.
Use cases
Local SEO research: Quickly analyze competitor landscapes across different cities and business categories
Lead generation: Build targeted prospect lists for B2B outreach to specific business types in chosen locations
Market analysis: Collect business data for market research and opportunity identification
Sales territory mapping: Generate comprehensive business directories for sales team targeting
