How it worksThree things you decide
- Write queries like a person would"Plumber Dallas" beats "plumbing services in the Dallas metropolitan area". Each line runs separately.
- Pick the sourceThe Places tab is fast and returns a handful. Full Google Maps is slower but goes deeper and brings websites back.
- Widen with an areaWith Full Google Maps picked as the source, fill the location under Area search to tile a whole city and pull up to about a thousand businesses instead of one page.
FAQQuestions people actually ask
Why are there fewer results than on maps.google.com?
A plain query returns one page. Add an area location to tile the region — that is what turns twenty results into hundreds.
