Google Maps Email Extractor vs LiveAssist: Which Is Better in 2026?

Google Maps Email Extractor is a Chrome and Edge extension that helps sales teams, agencies, recruiters and freelancers build local business lead lists straight from Google Maps. You run a normal Google Maps search, for example dentists in Austin or design agencies in California, and the extension collects the business name, email address, phone number, website, street address and social profiles such as Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Yelp and YouTube. It also records the category, rating, review count, latitude and longitude, Place ID and CID, so every row is ready for segmentation, mapping or CRM import.

Collecting this data by hand means opening listing after listing and copying fields into a spreadsheet. The extractor automates that loop. It scrolls and paginates through the results on its own, removes duplicate businesses, and lets you export the finished list as CSV, XLSX or JSON. Those files drop straight into outreach tools, CRMs and cold email platforms, which shortens the path from a search query to a first campaign.

The tool is aimed at B2B prospecting and local lead generation. Marketing and web design agencies use lists like this to find small businesses that need a better website. Sales reps use them to fill a pipeline in a territory. Recruiters and real estate professionals use them to find companies and contacts in a specific city. Because the data comes from live Google Maps searches, it reflects businesses that are listed right now.

Getting started is simple: install the extension, open Google Maps, search for a niche and a location, and start the extraction. There is no scripting, no proxy setup and no server to manage. A free plan includes 200 leads so you can test it on your own market. Email extraction is available on the paid plans, which are Professional at 29.90 dollars per month or a one-time lifetime option at 69.90 dollars.

What problem it solves

Copying business emails, phones and websites from Google Maps by hand is slow; the extension builds the lead list for you.
