Duplicating a BrowserAct Google Maps Template Into a Reusable Lead-Gen Bot
alifcoder · x · 2026-09-25
The author tried BrowserAct's Google Maps Email Finder template and instead of building a scraper from scratch, duplicated it into a reusable lead-gen workflow.
Key points:
- Enter a keyword and country; the bot opens public Google Maps pages and extracts structured records (28-35 credits per run)
- Extracted fields include business name, category, address, phone, website, public emails, contact page URL, and Maps URL
- No login required; changing keyword or location reuses the same workflow without re-setting selectors
His takeaway: for lead gen and business research, adapting a working template beats rebuilding a scrape every time a page changes.
