Botsol Google Maps Crawler automates extracting business data from Google Maps — names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, and reviews — for lead generation, local SEO, and market research. It also finds email addresses and social links by visiting each business's own website, since Google Maps doesn't show emails directly. Built-in multi-search lets you queue hundreds of search terms and run them automatically, covering entire cities or regions in one session. Free version available

How does it actually find the email addresses when visiting the business sites, is it scraping contact pages or pulling from something like Hunter under the hood?

Hunter
@tuana1278429 It visits each business's website and looks for publicly available email addresses. Typically, it checks the homepage first and then follows links to pages like Contact Us, About, or Support, where email addresses are commonly listed.
It doesn't use Hunter or any other third-party email database behind the scenes. We've considered adding Hunter integration, but it would significantly increase the cost of the tool. 😊

How does the email finder part actually work in practice, does it reliably pull business emails or is it more of a best effort scrape?

Hunter
@hlya70d0 It's generally quite reliable because it looks for email addresses that businesses have publicly listed on their websites. That said, some businesses intentionally hide or obfuscate their email addresses to reduce spam, so no email finder can guarantee results for every website.

The multi-search queuing is a smart touch, letting you cover whole regions without babysitting the tool.

@volkanon8q Exactly. It's especially useful when you need to process a large number of searches. You can queue them up, let them run in the background, and come back later to review the results instead of manually starting each search.

The multi-search queue is a really smart touch, letting you cover whole regions in one run instead of babysitting individual lookups.

The multi-search queue is a thoughtful touch for anyone mapping out entire regions at once. Nice that the email enrichment step happens automatically after the initial crawl too.
