Automate Google Maps

Turn the repetitive Google Maps work you do by hand (search a place or area, open a listing) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

why

Stop doing Google Maps by hand

The Google Maps tasks you repeat (search a place or area, open a listing, read details and reviews) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Google Maps only exposes part of it through an API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Google's Places API is metered and licensed; for light, authorized lookups the browser captures the same place data.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Google Maps task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Google Maps tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real Google Maps action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }search a place or area
{ }open a listing
{ }read details and reviews
{ }export results

Workflows extract structured fields such as business name, rating, review count, hours along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your Google Maps automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

Record itDo the Google Maps task once in a real browser (search a place or area, then open a listing) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on Google Maps in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
Discover itLet API discovery watch Google Maps's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Google Maps

The reason Google Maps is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Google Maps place pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture details and reviews that load dynamically.

Run the Google Maps automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

On a scheduleRun the Google Maps task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
On a changeWatch Google Maps for rating change or new review and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the Google Maps workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Google Maps changes. It runs on your own Google Maps account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/google-maps/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Google Maps automation too.

Trigger the Google Maps automation on a change

Monitor Google Maps for rating change, new review, hours change and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Google Maps automation in seconds. Monitor Google Maps ▸

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Google Maps even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.

The same Google Maps automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating Google Maps for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/google-maps/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Google Maps task too.

Automating Google Maps: questions

How do I automate Google Maps?
Record the Google Maps task once in the recorder (search a place or area, open a listing, read details and reviews) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own Google Maps account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Google Maps this way?
Collect Google Maps data you have the right to access and respect Google's Terms of Service and rate limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does Google Maps automation work behind login and 2FA?
Google Maps place pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture details and reviews that load dynamically. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated Google Maps session.
Can I run the Google Maps automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when Google Maps is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
