Build a Google Maps lead list with NextBrowser

Use NextBrowser to research local restaurants on Google Maps, verify business details and export a lead list with traceable public contacts.

About this reference video

The video shows the source task and its recorded outcome. The guide below explains how to run that task through NextBrowser: choose a profile and browser toolset, start a session, then supervise your local agent in Chat and Live View. Interface labels and results can differ from the recording.

Overview

A local lead list needs distinct business locations and verifiable contact details. NextBrowser lets the agent move from Maps listings to official business sites while you inspect the selected area and individual results. Missing emails stay missing rather than becoming guessed contacts.

What happens in the video

The browser searches Google Maps for Italian restaurants in Brooklyn and opens individual business listings. The final CSV is displayed in a spreadsheet application with 10 restaurant rows, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, and emails where found. Missing emails remain marked as not found.

Before you start

  • NextBrowser on macOS or Windows, signed in through browser pairing
  • An installed and authenticated local agent: Claude Code or Codex from the ChatGPT desktop app
  • A cuisine or business category, geographic boundary and desired number of unique locations

Run this in NextBrowser

Follow these steps in your own NextBrowser workspace. The video summary records the source demonstration; your result needs the checks below.

  1. Prepare the NextBrowser session

    Start a research profile, open Maps and check the actual search area and query. Map position and locale affect results, so make the requested neighborhood explicit in Chat.

  2. Give the local agent a scoped task

    Select your local agent in NextBrowser. Confirm the active profile and tab for Google Maps results for your restaurant category and neighborhood. Submit the prompt below in Chat after replacing its placeholders. The selected profile name is guidance for the agent; check the actual session in the sidebar and Live View.

  3. Collect the task evidence

    Ask the agent to open each listing and collect business name, address, phone, website, rating and Maps URL. For email, follow the official business website and preserve the page where a public contact is found.

  4. Review the result against the browser

    Check a sample of businesses in Live View, deduplicate by location and distinguish chains with multiple branches. Leave missing email as not found; do not construct an address from the domain.

Send this prompt in NextBrowser Chat

Suggested prompt

Use the intended NextBrowser profile [profile name]. First confirm the running session, active tab and target site; stop if they do not match. Research 10 Italian restaurants in Brooklyn using Google Maps and public websites. Collect name, location, website, published contact email when available, and source URLs. Deduplicate and export a spreadsheet. Mark missing emails. Report source URLs, the actual amount collected and any incomplete checks. Keep this run to research; do not purchase, publish or change account settings.

Replace the placeholders, then send this in NextBrowser Chat with the intended profile and agent selected. This is a suggested task, not the recording transcript.

What to verify in your run

  • A CSV of unique restaurant locations with Maps and website source URLs
  • Public contact fields with missing values retained and no outreach sent

Questions about this workflow

What if no email is published?

Leave it unavailable and keep the website or contact-page link. Do not guess an address.

Does the demo contact restaurants?

The published scope is research, enrichment, and export. Outreach is separate.
