    Google Maps Search Export is a powerful tool designed to help you extract detailed data from Google Maps search results. This automation allows you to gather information about businesses, locations, and other relevant details for market research, lead generation, or competitive analysis. Choose from three flexible input methods to suit your specific needs: Single Input for one-time queries, Google Sheets for dynamic and collaborative data management, or Process a CSV File for handling static datasets. Follow the steps below to get started.

    Define the search terms or locations for which you want to export Google Maps data. TexAu provides the following input options:

    Single Input

    This option is used to export data from a single Google Maps search URL.

    • Search URL: Paste the Google Maps search URL directly into the provided field (e.g., https://www.google.com/maps/search/restaurants+in+location).
    • Extract Limit (Optional): Specify the maximum number of search results to extract per run (e.g., 120 per launch).

    Google Sheet

    This option is suitable for exporting multiple Google Maps searches efficiently using Google Sheets.

    • Connect your Google account

    Click Select Google Account to choose your connected account, or click Add New Google Sheet Account and follow the instructions to authorize access if no account is linked.

    • Select your spreadsheet
      • Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing your search URLs.
      • Choose the spreadsheet and specific sheet where your data is stored.
    • Adjust processing options
      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Indicate how many rows to process per run.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip if necessary.

      • Extract Limit (Optional): Define the maximum number of search results to extract per URL.

    Optional feature:

    Process a CSV File

    This option allows you to export data from a static CSV file.

    • Upload the file
      • Click Upload CSV File and select the file containing search URLs.
      • TexAu will display the file name and preview its content for verification.
    • Adjust processing settings
      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows to process from the file.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip, if needed.

    1. Manually Enter a Single Input: Enter a single search term, such as “coffee shops in New York,” into the input field.

    Step 3: Execute Automations on TexAu Desktop or Cloud

    • Open the automation setup and select Desktop Mode.
    • Click Choose a Desktop to Run this Automation.
    • From the platform, select your connected desktop (status will show as "Connected") or choose a different desktop mode or account.
    • Click “Use This” after selecting the desktop to run the automation on your local system.
    • Alternatively, if you wish to run the automation on the cloud, click Run directly without selecting a desktop.

    Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    To schedule data extraction at specific times, configure the Schedule settings:

    • None: Run the automation immediately.
    • At Regular Intervals: Set a recurring schedule, such as every 6 hours.
    • Once: Specify a date and time for a one-time run.
    • Every Day: Automate daily scraping at a selected time.
    • On Specific Days of the Week: Select days such as Tuesday or Friday.
    • On Specific Days of the Month: Choose specific dates like the 1st or 15th.
    • On Specific Dates: Define exact dates for the run.

    Tip: Scheduling ensures consistent updates for ongoing projects, such as lead generation.

    Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Schedule settings screen, highlighting the recurrence options.

    Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

    Simulate natural browsing behavior by configuring an Iteration Delay between scraping requests. Adjust the following:

    • Minimum Delay: Set the shortest interval between each request.
    • Maximum Delay: Set the longest interval to add randomness.

    For example, delays between 5–10 seconds can help avoid detection.

    Screenshot Suggestion: Include a screenshot of the Iteration Delay settings, showing Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay fields.

    Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

    Select how you want to save and manage the extracted data:

    1. Export Options: Choose Google Sheets for real-time collaboration or CSV for offline access.
    2. Output Management:
      • Append: Add new data to the end of an existing file.
      • Split: Create a new file for every automation run.
      • Overwrite: Replace previous data with the latest extraction.
    3. Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to automatically clean duplicate entries, ensuring accurate and organized data.

    Tip: Exporting directly to Google Sheets is ideal for teams needing shared, live updates on data.

    Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Output Mode configuration, highlighting Export Options, Output Management, and Deduplicate settings.

    Step 7: Access the Data from the Data Store
