Google Maps ---> Claude ---> Offers for Businesses ---> PROBLEM! :(

Hello, everyone!
For some time now, I’ve been building a business that involves creating a professional-looking portfolio along with a price list, and I think it’s a great idea. Claude has access to Google Maps search, so I added a skill that makes it easier to find local businesses with good reviews but poor marketing, a weak or missing website, etc. After creating such a list, I move on to the process of extracting email addresses. The problem is that for a batch of 200 matching businesses, Claude manages to extract a maximum of 5 email addresses. I don’t know what’s causing this, and I think a batch like that should yield at least 50–100 email addresses. I know I can reach out via Instagram, etc. But Claude has the ability to connect to Gmail, which allows me to immediately save companies with draft messages ready to be sent in Gmail—which is great because it lets me gradually warm up my email list and build up a queue of companies to contact. Does anyone have any advice regarding this business and this specific type of marketing?

Worth checking where the ceiling actually is before blaming the extraction step. A Maps listing has no email field at all. Name, address, phone, hours and a link to the site is the whole record, so every address you get has to come off the site behind that link. That runs straight into your own filter, because you're selecting for a weak or missing website, which is exactly the group with no page for an address to sit on.

So count the batch first. Out of the 200, how many have a working site? That number, not 200, is your real ceiling, and 5 against it tells you whether this is a gap in the pipeline or just the data.

After that, treat contact discovery as its own pass rather than part of the search. Root page, then contact, about, imprint or legal, since small sites keep the address on those and often write it in a form a plain scan misses. Where there's no site at all, the phone number is the channel, not email.

Best,
Floqal

Been doing this for two months now. Check proper gmb scrapping tools that links to claude.

Now the emails from GMB isnt something you can get (in some rare cases u can). But a standard GMB doesnt have an email info.
