Search Google Maps

Google Maps search lets you find businesses by location and type, then import them as contacts. This is useful for geo-targeted prospecting—like finding all marketing agencies in a specific city.

When to use this

• Local prospecting — Target businesses in specific cities or regions
• Industry targeting — Find businesses by category (restaurants, agencies, clinics)
• Territory building — Build lists for sales territories
• Service area expansion — Discover potential customers in new markets

Start a search

1. Go to Lists in the sidebar.
2. Click Add List → Search Google Maps.
3. Enter your search query (e.g., "marketing agencies").
4. Enter a location (e.g., "Austin, TX" or "London, UK").
5. Enter a list name.
6. Click Start Search.

The search runs in the background. You'll see progress on the Lists page.

What you get

For each business, Signado extracts:

• Business name
• Address and phone number
• Website URL
• Business category
• Rating and review count (when available)

After the search

Once complete, review the imported businesses and activate monitoring to start detecting signals at those companies.
