How to export Google Maps data to Google Sheets

Export the list as CSV, then import the file into Google Sheets (File → Import → Upload, or paste into a blank sheet). CSV is the reliable bridge because every tool can produce it and Sheets opens it without a connector.

Gmap Data's customer export path is CSV. Its Google Sheets writer is an operator-workspace tool and is not offered to customer accounts, so the import route below is the one to use.

• •The file is a snapshot you control: you can archive it, diff it against next month's list, or hand it to someone without access to your tool.
• •Columns are stable and additive in Gmap Data, so a template you build once keeps working when new fields appear.
• •Direct connectors can silently append duplicates; with a file you decide exactly what merges.
• •A CSV can be imported into any spreadsheet or CRM, not just Sheets.

1. 1

   Export the list

   From the Businesses view, a run or a project, download the CSV. A project export reads live contact evidence at export time.

2. 2

   Create a blank sheet

   In Google Sheets choose Blank spreadsheet. Importing into an existing sheet with data risks misaligned columns.

3. 3

   Import the file

   File → Import → Upload, choose the CSV, set the import location to Replace current sheet, and keep "Convert text to numbers, dates and formulas" off for phone numbers and postal codes.

4. 4

   Name the header row

   Freeze row 1 and keep it untouched. Stable headers are what let you re-import or connect the sheet to a CRM later.

5. 5

   Work the data

   Filter on category, business status, website presence or email quality; add your own columns to the right of the imported ones.

• •Re-import to a second sheet and compare on place_id, the stable Google identifier for each business.
• •Append only rows whose place_id is not already in the sheet; that is the spreadsheet equivalent of a skip-recently-seen refresh.
• •Never deduplicate on name and address text: spacing, abbreviations and language differences create false duplicates.
• •If the list feeds outreach, mirror your suppression list in the sheet or keep suppression handling in the source tool so it cannot leak back in.

• •Keep place_id as text and treat it as the external key for CRM imports.
• •Format phone numbers as text so leading zeros and country codes survive.
• •Leave the trailing google_attribution column in place: it carries Google's required notice on rows that contain Google-derived fields.
• •Empty cells mean the listing or website did not publish that field; do not replace them with guesses.

• •Importing into a sheet that already has headers in different positions.
• •Letting Sheets convert phone numbers to numbers (losing leading zeros) or long postal codes to scientific notation.
• •Editing the header row and then re-importing a fresh file over it.
• •Deleting the attribution column before sharing the sheet.
• •Treating a snapshot as live data: a sheet is a copy from the moment of export.
