How to Get Business Phone Numbers from Google Maps in Bulk (2026)

Phone outreach still converts better than email for many local business categories — especially trades, healthcare, and hospitality. The problem is building a calling list. Manually finding phone numbers one listing at a time from Google Maps is brutally slow.

This guide covers every method for extracting business phone numbers from Google Maps in bulk in 2026 — and how to turn that list into a working cold call workflow.

Where Google Maps phone numbers come from

Every Google Maps business listing is created and managed by the business owner (or claimed and verified by them). When a business sets up or claims their listing, they enter their phone number directly. Google verifies many listings via an automated phone call to that number — which is why Google Maps phone numbers are among the most accurate publicly available business contact data.

Unlike database tools that scrape LinkedIn or company websites (and often capture outdated numbers), Google Maps phone data is tied to the physical, operating business — not a person who may have changed companies.

What types of numbers you'll find

Method 1: Manual extraction (for small lists only)

If you only need 10–20 phone numbers, you can collect them manually:

1. 1Open Google Maps at maps.google.com
2. 2Search for your category and location (e.g. 'electricians in Melbourne')
3. 3Click each listing in the left sidebar
4. 4Copy the phone number from the listing panel
5. 5Paste into a spreadsheet with columns: Business Name, Phone, Address

At 3–5 minutes per listing, 50 numbers takes around 3 hours. For anything beyond 20–30 listings, use a bulk extraction tool.

Method 2: Bulk phone extraction with CazaLead

CazaLead extracts phone numbers (along with name, address, email, website, rating, and review count) for every Google Maps listing matching your search — in minutes, not hours.

1. 1Create your free account at cazalead.com — 500 contacts/month, no credit card needed.
2. 2Enter your search: type a business category and location. Example: 'HVAC contractors in Phoenix, AZ'.
3. 3Run the extraction: CazaLead queries Google Maps live and returns all matching listings.
4. 4Apply filters: filter for minimum rating or review count to focus on established businesses. Filter for 'website present' if you also want email for follow-up.
5. 5Export to CSV or Excel: the Phone Number column is populated for every listing where Google Maps shows one.
6. 6Import to your dialler or CRM: upload directly to your sales tool.

How to clean and use your phone list

Raw Google Maps data occasionally includes disconnected numbers, especially for listings that haven't been updated in years. Before running a high-volume call campaign:

• Remove obvious formatting issues — some numbers import with extra spaces or inconsistent country code formatting. Use Excel's TRIM and SUBSTITUTE functions to standardise.
• Check against do-not-call registries — in the US, business numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry should be excluded from automated calling campaigns. B2B calls are generally exempt, but verify for your jurisdiction.
• Segment before calling — separate by category, city, and rating tier. Different segments get different call scripts. A plumber and a law firm have completely different pain points.
• Add a notes column — after each call, log outcome: No answer / Called back / Not interested / Booked call. This powers your follow-up workflow.

What to do when a business has no phone number

Some listings — especially very new or unclaimed ones — don't have a phone number. Options:

• Use the email address — if a website is linked, CazaLead will have extracted an email during the same run.
• Visit the website directly — most business websites have a contact page with a phone number even if the Maps listing doesn't.
• Check the business on Google Search — sometimes the search result for a business name shows a phone number not present on the Maps listing.
• Skip it — unclaimed listings without contact details are often closed or micro-businesses. Prioritise your time on the listings that have full contact info.

Best practices for cold calling with Google Maps data

1. 1Call during business hours. Use the operating hours field from your export to know when to call. Calling a restaurant at 11am before the lunch rush is better than 1pm.
2. 2Reference their location and category. 'I work with [category] businesses in [city]' immediately signals relevance and reduces hang-ups.
3. 3Use their review count or rating in the opener. 'I noticed you have 12 reviews on Google Maps — I help businesses like yours get to 50+' is specific and attention-grabbing.
4. 4Follow up by email. Use the email extracted alongside the phone number to send a follow-up immediately after calling. This doubles your conversion rate on 'call me back later' responses.
5. 5Respect the 'not interested'. Mark them as DNC in your CRM immediately. Repeat calling businesses that opted out damages your reputation and risks complaints.

If phone outreach is your primary channel, pair it with email for a two-touch approach. Read our guide on extracting emails from Google Maps to add email to the same workflow.
