1. How does our application work?
Our application is a parser of organizations from Google Maps - https://www.google.com/maps. It automatically scrapes
all organization data, including address, description, reviews text, photos, e-mail, social networks etc. After scraping, application saves data to .xlsx / .csv / .sql / .json. You can use the application to
collect leads from Google Maps or just scrape data to any other goal.
As input parameters, our application takes Geolocation and Keyword to search for. For example, you can enter GEO:
Boston, Keyword: Restaurants. This means you want to retrieve all restaurants from the map from Boston.
