Export Google Maps results to Excel Free, and without a single line of code

From a Maps search to a spreadsheet

Copying businesses off Google Maps by hand is slow and full of typos. You scroll, you click each pin, you paste a phone number, and an hour later you have twenty rows. A browser extension does the same work in the background while you keep searching, and hands you a file you can open in Excel.

The Vonsel Chrome extension is built for exactly that. You install it once, open Google Maps, and run a normal search like "dentists in Chicago" or "coffee shops near me". The extension reads the results panel as you scroll and collects each listing into a tidy table. When you are done, you export to CSV or XLSX and the file opens in Excel like any other spreadsheet.

No API key, no Python, no paid credits to buy first. The extension is free, and there is no trial timer or credit card in the way.

How to export Google Maps results to Excel

The whole flow takes a few minutes the first time and seconds after that. Here is the exact sequence.

1. Add the extension. Download the Vonsel extension and load it in Chrome. If you want the detailed walkthrough with screenshots, follow our step by step tutorial. Chrome supports side-loaded extensions through developer mode, which is documented in the official Chrome extension docs.

2. Run your search. Open Google Maps and type what you want: a category plus a location works best. Zoom or pan to the exact area you care about. The results in the left panel are what the extension will capture.

3. Let it capture. Click the Vonsel pop-up and start the capture. Scroll the results so Maps loads more listings, and the extension records each one: name, address, phone, category, rating, review count, and website.

4. Export. When the list looks complete, choose your format. Pick XLSX to open straight in Excel, or CSV if you prefer a universal file. Microsoft explains how spreadsheets handle both formats in its import and export guide. Double click the file and your search is now a working sheet.

Prefer a different destination? The same capture can go to CSV for any tool (see export Google Maps data to CSV) or straight into a Sheets tab (see export to Google Sheets).

The columns you get

Every business becomes a row, and every detail becomes a column. Here is what a typical export looks like once you open it in Excel.

The last two rows come from website enrichment. When a listing has a website, the extension can visit it quietly and pull the email, WhatsApp number, and social links that Maps never shows. That is how you go from a list of pins to a sheet you can actually contact. If email is your priority, see how to extract emails from Google Maps.

The simple route beats the technical one

You could pull business data through the official Google Maps Platform, and the Places API documentation shows how. But that path means billing setup, keys, rate limits, and code before you see a single row. For a salesperson who just wants a list to call, that is a lot of friction.

A browser extension skips all of it. You already see the results on screen, so the extension simply reads what is there and structures it. No developer account, no quota math, no scripts to maintain. That is the difference between building a pipeline and getting a spreadsheet.

The sheet is the means, the CRM is the end

Exporting to Excel is genuinely useful, and plenty of people stop there. But a spreadsheet is a dead end for outreach: it cannot tell you which lead to call first, it cannot draft the email, and it cannot show you a route across town.

That is why the same captures also land in the Vonsel dashboard. Your businesses appear on a mapped CRM instead of a flat grid. Sales, Reviews, and Email Intelligence read each listing and its reviews, surface the pain points a business is showing, and draft a personalized email per business you can send. The database is contextualized and value added, not a raw dump.

And because captures are saved, you can reopen a scrape later to add more listings, attach reviews to businesses you already have, and keep a history of everything you pulled.
