⚙️ Google Maps Nearby Places Search - Pagination Workflow Formula By steve

Quickly scrape all businesses of a given category from Google Maps that are nearby a location (mimicking how the mobile app works). This workflow will automatically paginate and combine the results back in CSV format for easy consumption without having to write any code. You can search for a business type or enter a keyword to search by business name or other feature.

Getting Started

Import this formula to add the workflow into your account, where you’ll be able to specify the businesses from Google Maps you want to get back. You may want to provide one of the optional parameters in the drop down, otherwise you’ll just get a generic list of places back around your location.
