What it does

Google Maps Lead Generator n8n Workflow overview

Finding local business leads manually is a grind. This workflow reads a list of zip codes and business categories from a Google Sheet, then queries the Google Maps Places API to surface real businesses — complete with name, phone number, address, website, GPS coordinates, ratings, and review count. Results are deduplicated by place_id so your sheet stays clean, and exponential backoff retry logic handles API rate limits gracefully. Run it on a schedule to continuously top up your lead pipeline, or trigger it manually before a sales push. Everything lands in a structured Google Sheets tab, ready to import into your CRM or outreach tool.

FAQ

Questions about this n8n workflow

How many leads can it pull per run?

Google Maps Places API returns up to 20 results per search. With 50 zip codes × 10 categories, that's up to 10,000 raw results per run — deduplicated down to unique businesses.

Do I need a paid Google Maps API key?

Yes — the Places API (places.searchText endpoint) requires a Google Cloud project with billing enabled. Costs are typically $0.032 per request; a typical run of 500 searches costs ~$16.

Will it overwrite my existing Sheets data?

No — it appends new rows to the Results tab. Deduplication prevents the same business from being added twice across multiple runs.

Can I filter by rating or minimum review count?

Not by default, but it's a simple filter node to add. The setup service can include a configurable minimum-rating filter tailored to your use case.
