Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract emails from Google Maps using IMPORTFROMWEB?

No, Google My Business pages or profiles on Google Maps do not typically contain email addresses. Consequently, IMPORTFROMWEB does not directly facilitate email extraction from Google Maps.

However, there are two alternative methods available:

  1. Using IMPORTFROMWEB: once you have extracted the domain name from Google Maps (with the “website” selctor), you can build another ImportFromWeb formula with the “emails” generic selector: =IMPORTFROMWEB("https://www.example.com", "emails")
  2. Using IMPORTFROMGOOGLE with a Boolean Search: input a boolean search to potentially find email addresses. For example: =IMPORTFROMGOOGLE("your query @gmail.com", "emails")

We’ve also made a ready-to-use template to collect emails from the website associated to the Google My Business account.
