I hear you, man. I went through the same thing building a local business list and quickly learned that doing it by hand is a total waste of time. The way these automated tools work is pretty straightforward: you basically tell them what you’re searching for and where, and a platform like outscraper goes out and pulls every business listing from Maps that matches. You end up with a spreadsheet full of names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, and sometimes even emails and social media links if you use the enrichment features.
