Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract emails from Google Maps using IMPORTFROMWEB?

No, Google My Business pages or profiles on Google Maps do not typically contain email addresses. Consequently, IMPORTFROMWEB does not directly facilitate email extraction from Google Maps.

However, there are two alternative methods available:

  1. Using IMPORTFROMWEB: Utilize the “emails” generic selector on any webpage where email addresses are present. Example formula: =IMPORTFROMWEB("https://www.example.com", "emails")
  2. Using IMPORTFROMGOOGLE with a Boolean Search: input a boolean search to your IMPORTFROMGOOGLE to potentially find email addresses. Example formula: =IMPORTFROMGOOGLE("your query @gmail.com", "emails")
