Google Maps Business Search

Find Local Businesses by Location

When your prospecting starts with where a business operates, a traditional B2B contact database is not always the right starting point. SimpLeads Google Maps Search is a separate discovery workflow for finding local businesses using business keywords and locations. Use AI-assisted keyword suggestions, define your target location, set the maximum results, and build a focused local prospect list.

A Separate Discovery Workflow for Local Prospecting

Google Maps Search works alongside the five-stage core pipeline, not as another stage within it.

Google Maps Search is a separate business discovery tool designed for cases where your starting point is a local business category, keyword or geographic market. Enter a business keyword and location to discover relevant local businesses without turning Google Maps into another pipeline stage.

AI-Assisted Keyword Discovery
If you are unsure which business keywords to search, use Suggest Keywords to generate keyword ideas from the business context you provide. This can help you explore different ways a local business category may be represented before running the search.

Built for SMB Outreach, Franchise Sales & Local Agencies

Google Maps Search is particularly useful when geography is part of your prospecting strategy.

Local & Service Businesses
Build lists of businesses within a specific location for local B2B outreach, partnerships or service-based prospecting.
Franchise & Multi-Location Sales
Explore businesses across defined markets when your sales strategy depends on specific cities, regions or territories.
