This n8n workflow automates the process of extracting business leads from Google Maps using RapidAPI’s Local Business Data service and organizing the results in Google Sheets. Designed for marketers, lead generation specialists, or sales teams, it streamlines gathering contact details, social media profiles, and location data efficiently while preventing duplicates.
The workflow begins manually with a trigger, where you initiate lead extraction after configuring your search criteria in a Google Sheet. It loads these criteria, filters out previously processed searches to avoid duplicates, and splits the process into batches to handle multiple locations smoothly.
For each location, the workflow configures search parameters like query, coordinates, language, and result limit. It then makes an HTTP request to the RapidAPI service, retrieving comprehensive business data, including emails and social media contacts. The API responses are parsed with custom JavaScript code to structure the data into a usable format, extracting key contact information and social profiles.
Results are then saved into a Google Sheet, with the workflow implementing dual-level duplicate checks—filtering out known businesses by business ID and previous search queries to optimize API usage and data integrity. It includes a rate-limiting delay to conform to API restrictions.
Practical use cases include targeted local marketing campaigns, competitor analysis, or building a comprehensive contacts database from public business information, all automated for efficiency and accuracy.
