How to Use Google Maps Business Coordinates (Latitude and Longitude)

When scraping on Google Maps, latitude/longitude coordinates are automatically collected with other fields (precise to 6 decimal places — meter-level accuracy). Once scraping is done, you can choose between two follow-up paths.

Field reference: see Product Overview · 22 Fields

What to do with coordinates: GIS heat-map analysis / delivery route planning / business cluster analysis / on-site visit navigation

Workflow at a Glance​

Two Paths
  • 1. Direct plugin export — Great for quick data retrieval (e.g., importing into a GIS tool to plot a heat map).
  • 2. Sync to cloud management — Great for long-term follow-up + business region planning + CRM integration.

Option A · Direct Export from the Plugin​

Best for quickly getting a business list with coordinates — done directly in the plugin interface.

1. Scrape and Select Businesses​

After scraping on Google Maps, check the businesses you want to export from the plugin results list (select all or some).

2. Export the Excel File​

Click Export → the selected business info (company name / longitude / latitude / address) gets compiled into an Excel file and downloaded locally.

Option B · Sync to the Cloud for Management and Export​

Once data is in the cloud, you can do much more powerful management and application work on the Laifaxin platform.

1. Sync Data to the Cloud​

2. View and Filter Coordinates in the Cloud​

In the cloud business list, longitude / latitude appear as standard fields. Use the view filter to quickly find businesses in specific areas (e.g., within a 5 km radius of a commercial zone).

3. Export from the Cloud​

In the cloud list, check your target customers and click Export to download as Excel — for GIS analysis or regional planning.

Practical Tips​

TipDetails
1. Pair with GIS toolsImport the exported Excel directly into ArcGIS / QGIS / AMap to generate business heat maps.
2. Cluster analysisUse coordinates to cluster and find dense customer regions — prioritize them (higher ROI).
3. Delivery planningFor cross-region logistics, batch shipments by geographic cluster to cut delivery costs.
4. CRM integrationUse Export Contacts to batch-sync into your CRM, coordinates included.

FAQ​

Q1 · How precise are the coordinates?​

Coordinates are accurate to 6 decimal places — meter-level (about ±10 m) — more than enough for business positioning needs.

Q2 · What scenarios call for coordinates?​

  • GIS heat maps — Find dense customer regions and prioritize.
  • Delivery route planning — Batch shipments by geographic cluster.
  • On-site visit navigation — Copy the coordinates straight into a navigation app.
  • Market analysis — See competitor distribution density.

Q3 · Which export method should I choose?​

  • Quick analysis / import into GIS → use Option A · Direct plugin export (most convenient).
  • Long-term management + business region planning → use Option B · Sync to cloud (more powerful).
