The old way costs you hours

Getting Google Maps review data into Claude used to mean API keys, billing accounts, and a lot of manual work.

Before
  • Open Google Maps, find each business, scroll through reviews manually
  • Copy reviewer name, rating, and text one by one - Maps only shows a few at a time
  • Compile into a doc or spreadsheet, then upload to Claude
  • Try the Google Places API - spend an hour on billing setup, API keys, and parsing JSON
  • Repeat everything the next time you need fresh review data
After
  • Open Claude
  • "Find coffee shops in Chennai and pull the 20 lowest-rated reviews for the top result"
  • Claude searches Maps, identifies the place, pulls the reviews, and analyses the feedback
  • Ask follow-ups, switch to a competitor, or change the sort - no starting over
  • Done.

Get insights

Claude searches Maps, finds the right listing, pulls reviews in the sort order you asked for, and delivers sentiment analysis - all inside one conversation.

What you can extract from Google Maps

Two tools that work together - search first, then pull reviews - or go straight to reviews if you have the Maps URL.

City-Aware Business Search

  • Search any business or place by name and city
  • City narrows results via geolocation - not just keyword matching
  • Returns place name, address, rating, and review count
  • Phone number and place dataId for chaining into review extraction
search_google_maps

Review Extraction with Sort Controls

  • Pull reviews sorted by relevant, newest, highest, or lowest rating
  • Rating, full review text, and reviewer name per review
  • Up to 50 reviews per call
  • Works with a Maps URL or the dataId from a search result
extract_google_maps_reviews

Search-to-Review in One Conversation

  • Search returns a dataId that Claude passes directly to review extraction
  • No manual URL copying between steps
  • Ask Claude to search and extract in a single request
  • Switch between results in the same conversation
search_google_maps extract_google_maps_reviews

Four Sort Orders for Review Analysis

  • Relevant: Google's default ranking of most useful reviews
  • Newest: latest reviews first for recency tracking
  • Highest: top-rated reviews to understand what customers love
  • Lowest: critical reviews first to surface recurring complaints
extract_google_maps_reviews

Direct URL Input

  • Already have the Maps link? Paste it directly to Claude
  • Accepts full Google Maps URLs with place IDs embedded
  • Skip the search step entirely when you know the exact listing
  • Useful for monitoring specific brand locations over time

Competitive Review Intelligence

  • Search multiple competitors by name in the same conversation
  • Pull lowest-rated reviews for each to find recurring pain points
  • Ask Claude to compare themes across competitor listings
  • Build a data-backed gap analysis without leaving Claude

Built for marketing teams

Three Google Maps workflows marketers run every week - all inside Claude, no extra tools.

Reputation Monitoring Without Spreadsheets

Need to know what customers are saying about your locations this week? Ask Claude to pull the newest reviews for each listing and flag any below 3 stars - all in one request, no spreadsheet setup required.

"Pull the 20 newest reviews for our Mumbai location at this Maps URL: maps.google.com/... Summarise any recurring complaints and flag reviews below 3 stars."

Saves ~4 hours per week

Competitor Review Gap Analysis

Want to know why a competitor has a higher rating? Ask Claude to search for them, pull their lowest-rated reviews, and identify the complaints they are not fixing. Then do the same for your brand and compare themes side by side.

"Search for [competitor name] in Hyderabad. Pull their 30 lowest-rated reviews and identify the top 3 recurring complaints. Then do the same for [your brand]."

Saves ~5 hours per analysis

Local Market Research for New Launches

Entering a new city or category? Search Google Maps for the top players in your space, pull their most relevant reviews, and let Claude surface what customers value most in that market - before you spend on campaigns.

"Search for co-working spaces in Pune. Pull the 20 most relevant reviews for the top 3 results. What do customers consistently mention as the deciding factor?"

Saves ~6 hours per market brief

Frequently asked questions

No. The connector handles all of that behind the scenes. You don't need a Google Cloud Console account, a Places API key, billing setup, or any developer credentials. Sign up, paste the connector URL into Claude, and you're ready.

Business search costs 1 credit per call regardless of how many results are returned. Review extraction costs 1 credit per 10 reviews pulled. So 10 reviews cost 1 credit, 30 reviews cost 3 credits, and 50 reviews cost 5 credits. Your dashboard shows exact costs before and after each call.

Up to 50 reviews per call, with a default of 10. The tool paginates internally to reach your requested count. Just tell Claude how many you need and in what sort order.

Yes - any publicly listed business on Google Maps that has visible reviews. This includes restaurants, retailers, hotels, clinics, service businesses, co-working spaces, and more. If it has a Google Maps listing with public reviews, you can extract it.

Both work. You can ask Claude to search by business name and city - the search tool returns a dataId that Claude automatically passes to the review extraction tool. Or if you already have the Maps URL, paste it directly and skip the search step entirely.

The Smacient's Claude Connector works with Claude.ai (Pro and Team plans support custom connectors), Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork. Any Claude client that supports MCP will work. If you can add a custom MCP server URL, this connector will work.

No. One connector URL unlocks all tools across 14 platforms: Google Maps, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Amazon, App Store, Google Play, Meta Ads Library, Google Ads Library, Google Keyword Planner, GA4, Search Console, Meta Ads, and Google Ads. Credits work across all tools.

No. Credits never expire. Buy a pack when you need it and use them at your own pace.
