Capture Google Maps businesses with the free Vonsel Chrome extension, then export a CSV in one click
Notion's built in Import feature turns that CSV into a live database with no API and no connector
Notion is a great reference wiki, but the Vonsel mapped CRM is where you actually work the leads: review analysis, AI email per business, and value added context
The short version
Two moving parts: capture, then import
Getting Google Maps businesses into Notion looks harder than it is. Google Maps has no export button, so the missing piece is a way to pull the listings off the map into a structured file. Once you have that file, Notion does the rest.
The cleanest path has two steps. First, capture the businesses you searched with the Vonsel Chrome extension and export them as a CSV. Second, drop that CSV into Notion using its native import. The extension is the means, a well organized lead database is the end.
You do not need the Notion developer API, a paid connector, or a single line of code for a one time import. That path exists too, and we cover when it makes sense below, but most people just need a fast, repeatable way to move a list.
Start by capturing the data
Install the Vonsel extension, run a Google Maps search, and export a clean CSV. Free download. No trial, no credit card.
Open the Vonsel extension in Chrome, go to Google Maps, and search the way you normally would: a category plus a city, for example "dentists in Chicago" or "roofers near Denver". As the results load, the extension reads the visible listings and builds a tidy table for you.
For each business you capture the fields that matter for outreach: name, full address, phone number, website, category, rating, and review count. You can keep scrolling to pull the whole result set, then filter out anything you do not want before you export. If you want the mechanics in detail, our export Google Maps data to CSV guide walks through the capture screen field by field.
When the list looks right, hit export and choose CSV. That single file is everything Notion needs. Because the capture happens in your own browser session on the results you already searched, you stay inside the flow that Google's own Places data is designed around, without wiring up a paid API key just to try things out.

Step 2
Import the CSV into a Notion database
Notion reads CSV files natively, so no connector is involved. In your workspace, click the plus next to any page or use the Import option in the left sidebar, then choose CSV and select the file you exported. Notion creates a new database and maps each column to a property automatically.
Take a minute to fix the property types after the first import. Notion tends to read everything as text, so set the rating column to Number, turn the website and phone fields into URL and Phone properties, and add a Select or Status property called something like "Stage" so you can track outreach. The official Notion developer docs describe how each property type behaves if you want to go deeper later.
From here you can switch the database to a board view by stage, group by category, or filter to businesses with a low review count. That is the whole no code path. For a broader look at moving lists between tools, see how to import scraped leads into your CRM.
The automation path
When to use the Notion API or a connector
A one time import is perfect for a single list. If you refresh a territory every week and want new businesses to land in Notion automatically, you can wire the export into an automation platform. Tools like Zapier's Notion integrations can watch a folder or a sheet and create a Notion database row for each new record.
Decide based on how often the list changes, not on how advanced it sounds.
Notion is an excellent place to store and reference a list. It was not built to score local leads, read their reviews, or write the first email. That is a different job, and it is where a purpose built sales layer earns its keep.
Capture once, use it anywhere
One export feeds Notion, your CRM, and a spreadsheet. Start with the free extension. Free download. No trial, no credit card.
A Notion database is flexible and great for notes, docs, and a light view of a list. But a raw table of businesses is only the starting point. The value comes from context: which of these businesses is worth a call today, what their customers complain about, and what you should say when you reach out.
That is what the Vonsel dashboard adds on top of the same capture. Instead of a flat spreadsheet, your leads land in a mapped CRM where you can see a whole city, draw territories, and plan routes. Reviews Intelligence reads each business's reviews so pain points surface as buying signals, and Email Intelligence drafts an AI email tailored to each business rather than a generic template.
You can also reopen a previous capture and add more businesses to it, attach fresh reviews to leads you already saved, and enrich websites to pull emails and social profiles. Notion cannot do any of that on its own. A healthy workflow is simple: keep a reference copy in Notion if your team lives there, and work the pipeline in Vonsel.
