Installation
- Install Tampermonkey (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari)
- Click the Install button on this page
- Navigate to any Google Maps place page
- Use the floating panel in the bottom-right corner
Usage
- Go to a Google Maps business page (e.g.,
https://www.google.com/maps/place/...)
- Click the Reviews tab to open the reviews panel
- Use the floating scraper panel:
- Configure filters (star ratings, photos, text)
- Toggle owner responses on/off
- Click 🔍 Scrape Reviews
- Wait for scraping to complete (use Stop button if needed)
- Export in your preferred format
Tips
- Large review sets (500+): Use the Stop button if you only need a sample
- Filtering saves time: Toggle "Only with text" to skip empty ratings
- XLSX is best for analysis: Includes separate Business Info sheet
- Photo downloads: May open multiple tabs if direct download isn't available
Known Limitations
- Google Maps lazy-loads reviews, so scrolling is required
- Very old reviews (5+ years) may have less precise date estimates
- Photo download depends on browser permissions
- Some reviewer badges only visible on expanded profiles
- Business metadata extraction depends on Google Maps DOM structure
Privacy
This script runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to external servers. All scraped data stays on your device.
Troubleshooting
XLSX export not working?
- The script requires the SheetJS library. Try refreshing the page.
- Some Tampermonkey security settings may block external scripts.
Business name showing as empty?
- Make sure you're on the main place page, not a photos or reviews-only view.
- The script extracts the name from multiple sources as fallback.
Reviews not loading?
- Ensure the Reviews tab is open and visible
- Check if Google Maps has any CAPTCHA or rate limiting active
