Website enrichment adds emails, phones, and social profiles to the same file, so your CSV is ready for outreach, not just a raw list
The short answer
Yes, and it takes about five minutes
Google Maps holds one of the largest business directories on the planet, but it gives you no export button. If you want a spreadsheet of dentists, plumbers, or restaurants in a city, you either copy rows by hand or use a tool that reads the results for you.
The fastest no-code path is a browser extension that runs on top of a normal Google Maps search. You run a query, the extension captures each listing, and you press export. The result is a standard CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets, or any CRM.
The Vonsel extension does exactly this, and it is free. There is no trial timer and no card at signup. You install it, you search, you export. The value comes after: what you do with that CSV inside the Vonsel dashboard.
Start exporting in minutes
Install the free extension, run a Google Maps search, and download your first CSV today.
The whole flow is designed for someone who has never touched a scraper. There is nothing to configure and no schema to learn.
1. Install the extension. Add Vonsel to Chrome. Because it loads as an unpacked build, you enable developer mode once, load the folder, and pin the icon. That is a one-time setup you never repeat.
2. Run a normal Google Maps search. Type something like hair salons in Austin and let the results load. The extension reads the same listings you see on screen, so no hidden API is involved.
3. Capture the businesses. Open the Vonsel pop-up and start the capture. It walks the result list and collects each business as a row, handling the scroll and pagination for you.
4. Export to CSV. When the capture finishes, click export and choose CSV. The file downloads with one row per business and one column per field, ready to open in any spreadsheet app.

What is inside
The fields you get in every CSV
A Google Maps listing carries more than a name and a pin. The extension pulls the structured fields that Maps exposes, which map closely to the data model described in the Google Places documentation. If you want a plain-language tour of each field, read Google Maps data fields explained.

The last two rows are where a plain scraper stops and Vonsel keeps going. Maps almost never shows an email, so the extension quietly visits each captured website and pulls public contact details into the same file. We explain the mechanics in how to extract emails from Google Maps.
Beyond the file
A CSV is a starting point, not a finish line
Downloading a CSV feels like the goal, but a raw file just sits there. It has no memory of who you called, no notes, no way to see which leads sit near each other on a map. That is the real problem a spreadsheet cannot solve.
This is why the extension is only half of Vonsel. Every capture also lands in the Vonsel dashboard, a mapped CRM where each business becomes a pin you can work. Sales Intelligence scores the list, Reviews Intelligence reads the ratings for pain points, and Email Intelligence drafts a tailored email per business.
Reopen and extend a scrape
Come back to a capture later and add more businesses to it. Your CSV grows without starting over or stitching files together by hand.
Add reviews to captured leads
Attach Google reviews to any business you saved, then let Reviews Intelligence surface complaints you can lead with in a pitch.
History of every capture
Each export is saved in your history, so a list of restaurants from last month is a click away, not lost in a downloads folder.
AI email per business
Email Intelligence writes a first draft grounded in each lead's category, reviews, and location, so the CSV becomes a campaign.
Turn a CSV into a pipeline
Capture on Google Maps, export the file, and let the Vonsel dashboard do the rest.
There are three common ways to get Maps data into a CSV, and they suit very different people. The Chrome extension model wins on simplicity for anyone who is not a developer.
An API needs code, keys, and a billing meter. A desktop scraper needs installs and often proxies. A browser extension runs inside the Maps tab you already have open, so there is nothing to wire up. For a fuller no-code comparison, see how to scrape Google Maps without coding.
One thing to know: Google caps a single search at roughly 120 results, so wide queries need to be split by area or category. That is a Maps limit, not an extension flaw, and staying inside sensible pacing keeps you compliant. If the legal side matters to you, read our take on whether it is legal to scrape Google Maps.
A free CSV export is table stakes. The question that decides your results is what happens after the download: whether the list stays a static file or becomes a mapped, scored, and contactable set of leads. That gap is the whole point of Vonsel.
From file to CRM
Get the CSV into your workflow
If you live in another CRM, the CSV drops straight in. Our guide on importing scraped leads into your CRM covers field mapping and cleanup so nothing lands in the wrong column.
Selling to companies rather than working the leads yourself? A tidy, enriched export is a product in itself. We compare that path with buying data in Google Maps data vs bought lists.
Either way, the export is the same one-click CSV. What changes is the destination, and Vonsel is built to make that destination a place where the data actually moves deals forward.
Any tool can hand you a CSV. Vonsel hands you what to do with it
Export your first list free
Install the extension, capture a Google Maps search, and download a clean CSV. Explore features or see plans.
Yes. The Vonsel Chrome extension captures businesses directly from a Google Maps search and lets you download a clean CSV. It is free to install with no trial and no credit card. The extension is the capture layer, and the Vonsel dashboard is where you turn that CSV into a working pipeline.
What fields are included in the CSV export?
A typical export includes business name, category, full address, phone number, website, rating, review count, and coordinates. When website enrichment runs, the extension also adds emails and social profiles found on each business site, so your CSV is ready for outreach.
Does the extension export emails from Google Maps too?
Yes. Google Maps does not list emails directly, so the extension visits each captured website in the background and pulls public contact emails, phone numbers, and social links. Those columns are added to the same CSV alongside the map data.
