Google Maps Business Search and Reviews Tool for Claude

Searches Google Maps for any business by name and city, then extracts and sorts its reviews for sentiment analysis, live and without a Places API key.

Overview

This connector lets Claude locate a business on Google Maps by name and city, then pull its reviews without ever touching the Google Places API. A search returns the matching listing along with its rating, address, and review count, and Claude can chain straight into review extraction using the returned identifier, or skip the search entirely if a Maps URL is already on hand.

Reviews can be sorted by relevance, recency, highest rating, or lowest rating, which makes it straightforward to pull the newest feedback for reputation tracking or the harshest reviews to surface recurring complaints. Every result reflects what is currently live on the listing, so there is no billing account, API key, or JSON parsing standing between a request and the data.

Key Features

- City-Aware Business Search: Finds a business by name and city using geolocation rather than plain keyword matching, returning name, address, rating, review count, and phone number.

- Sortable Review Extraction: Pulls up to 50 reviews per call sorted by relevant, newest, highest rating, or lowest rating, with reviewer name and full review text included.

- Search-to-Review Chaining: Passes the dataId from a search result directly into review extraction, so no manual copying between steps is needed.

- Direct Maps URL Input: Accepts a full Google Maps URL to skip the search step entirely when the exact listing is already known.

- Competitive Review Comparison: Searches and pulls reviews for multiple competitor listings in the same conversation to compare recurring themes.

- No Places API Setup: Works without a Google Cloud account, Places API key, or billing configuration of any kind.
