Capture Google Maps leads free, export a clean CSV or JSON, and pipe them into Zapier, Make, n8n, HubSpot, Sheets, and any CRM. No API, no code.

Key takeaways
The Vonsel Chrome extension is the means: it captures businesses from Google Maps and exports CSV or JSON, free, no card
Any tool that reads a file (Zapier, Make, n8n, HubSpot, Sheets, Notion, Airtable) can ingest that export, so you never need an API
The end is the Vonsel dashboard: a mapped CRM with review, sales, and email intelligence that turns raw rows into contextualized databases
The pattern
Capture with the extension, connect anywhere
Most people overthink integrations. They look for an official Google Maps connector inside their automation tool and find nothing usable, because the Places API is metered, quota-bound, and never designed for lead lists. The simpler path skips all of that.
You capture the businesses you actually want with the Vonsel extension, export the result as a CSV or JSON file, then hand that file to whatever already lives in your stack. Every serious tool can read a file. That single fact removes the need for keys, quotas, and glue code.
The extension is the means. The end is the Vonsel dashboard, a mapped CRM where those same leads gain review intelligence, AI email per business, and value-added context. This guide covers both: the quick file route into third-party tools, and the native route when you want more than rows.
Start with the capture layer

Step by step
From Google Maps to your tool in four moves
The workflow is identical no matter which tool sits at the end. Only the last step changes.
1. Capture. Open Google Maps, run your search (a category plus a city, or a specific area), and let the extension collect the listings: name, phone, website, address, category, rating, and more. If you left a list half-done, you can reopen the capture later and add to it rather than starting over.
2. Filter. Trim the list before you export. Keep only businesses with a website, or only those without one, or a rating band that fits your offer. A tighter file means a cleaner import and fewer records to clean afterwards. See filtering leads before export for the full method.
3. Export. Choose CSV for spreadsheets and CRMs, or JSON when a script or automation platform will parse it. Both come out with consistent column headers, which is what makes the next step painless.
4. Connect. Point your tool at the file. That is the part that changes per platform, so the table below maps the exact route for each of the common destinations.
You do not need a Google Maps app inside these tools. You need a trigger they already support: a new row in a Google Sheet, or a new file in a watched folder. Both are first-class citizens in every automation platform.
The cleanest pattern is a Google Sheet as the middle layer. Import your extension CSV into a sheet, and let Zapier watch it for new rows. Each new lead can then create a CRM contact, send a Slack ping, or start an outreach sequence. Prefer to self-host? n8n runs the same flow on your own server with its Read Binary File and Spreadsheet File nodes.
The reason this route is bulletproof: a CSV export is stable, portable, and understood by every tool ever built for data. An API connector breaks when quotas change. A file does not.
Every mainstream CRM ships a CSV importer, and the extension export is built to feed it. In HubSpot, for example, you open the import screen, upload the file, and map columns to properties: business name to company, phone to phone, website to domain, address to street. HubSpot documents the exact flow in its import objects guide.
Before you import, clean once. Deduplicate obvious repeats, standardize phone formats, and drop rows missing the fields you actually need. Our note on importing scraped leads into your CRM covers the mapping details that save you a re-import.
One caution worth keeping in view: a CRM import moves raw contact data, so treat it responsibly. If you plan to email these businesses, read our take on whether scraping Google Maps is legal and follow the outreach rules for your market.
The native alternative
When you want more than rows
Stitching a Sheet to a CRM to an email tool works, but it is a stack you maintain. The Vonsel dashboard collapses those steps into one place. The same captures land in a mapped CRM where every business is a pin, not just a row.
From there, the intelligence layers do the work a plain CSV cannot. Sales Intelligence scores who is worth calling. Reviews Intelligence reads the public reviews of each business and surfaces the pain points behind them. Email Intelligence drafts an AI email per business that references those exact points, so your outreach is contextualized rather than templated.
Mapped, not tabular
Leads appear on an interactive map with territories and routes, so field reps see coverage at a glance instead of scrolling a spreadsheet.
Reviews become signal
Public reviews are analyzed for satisfaction and complaints, turning a name and phone number into a reason to reach out.
AI email per business
Each lead gets a draft that speaks to its specific context, which a raw CSV feeding a mail merge can never match.
One system to maintain
No brittle chain of connectors. Capture, enrich, contact, and track live under one roof, and you can reopen a capture to add more later.
This is the difference between a raw list and a value-added database. The extension gets you the data. The dashboard makes it worth acting on.
The extension is how you capture. The dashboard is why it matters
Capture once, connect anywhere
Pull the businesses you want from Google Maps, then send them to your tools or into the mapped Vonsel CRM. Free download. No trial, no credit card.
Do I need an API to connect Google Maps leads to my tools?
No. The Vonsel extension captures businesses from Google Maps and exports a clean CSV or JSON file. Every automation platform and CRM (Zapier, Make, n8n, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Notion, Airtable) can import a CSV or read a file, so you can move leads into your stack without touching an API key or writing code.
Is the Vonsel Chrome extension free to connect to my stack?
Yes. The extension is a free download with no trial and no credit card. You capture leads, export the file, and connect it to whatever tools you already use. The paid layer is the Vonsel dashboard, which holds the mapped CRM, review and email intelligence, and value-added databases.
What is the fastest way to push extension leads into a CRM?
Export the capture as CSV, open your CRM import screen, map the columns (name, phone, website, address, category), and confirm. For recurring flows, drop the CSV into a Zapier, Make, or n8n watched folder or Google Sheet so new rows create or update records automatically.
