Common questions
Is Placework free to use?
Yes. It's free to try, with no credit card required to install or run it.
Do I need a Google account?
No. Placework reads the Google Maps page you already have open. There's no separate login or API key.
Can I get email addresses?
When a business publishes one. Placework reads published pages only, so some businesses won't have a listed email.
What data fields are included?
Business name, phone, email, website, category, rating, and address, plus decision-maker names or revenue when a business has published them.
Does it work worldwide?
It works on any Google Maps search, in any city or country. Result coverage still depends on what each business has published.
Is my data private?
Yes. Jobs and results stay in Chrome's local storage, and the CSV downloads straight to your computer. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
More businesses. Brighter opportunities.
