2 tools for map-based businesses

Local SEO tools

For businesses that rank on a map, not just a page — measure the traffic your Google Business Profile actually sends, and turn Google's local results into a lead list.

The local tools

GBP UTM Builder

Your Business Profile sends clicks to your website, menu, booking page and directions — and by default GA4 lumps most of them in with everything else. This builds the tagged links that separate them, with one-click presets for each GBP action and existing query parameters left intact.

You'll need: nothing — it runs in your browser, with no sign-up, and works offline.

Tracking & reportingLocal

Google Map Scraper

Give it a list of keywords and a list of towns and it searches every combination, collecting each business with its website, phone, address and rating, then exports the lot to CSV. Our page is an independent guide to what it collects, what the free tier caps and where the data goes thin.

You'll need: Chrome, Edge or Brave — it's a third-party extension, not a SerpHammer tool.

Why local needs its own tools

The map pack is a separate front door

People find a local business through a profile, not a homepage — they tap Call, Directions or Website straight from the map. Those taps need measuring on their own terms.

Untagged GBP traffic hides

Without UTM tags, clicks from your profile land in GA4 as ordinary organic or direct traffic. Tag them once and the profile becomes a source you can actually report on.

Local research is a grid, not a list

Local work is keywords × places: five services across twenty towns is a hundred searches. That combination is exactly what a maps extractor automates.

The builder keeps your data

The GBP UTM Builder has no server and no sign-up — the URL you paste and the links you build stay in the page. It installs as an app and keeps working offline.

Pins work here too

Pin either card and the tool appears in the Pinned row on the main SEO Tools page — one launcher for your whole kit, local and otherwise.

Honest about what's ours

One of these is a SerpHammer tool and one is a guide to somebody else's extension. We say which is which on every page rather than blurring the line.

How it works

  1. 1

    Decide which side you're on

    Measuring your own profile's traffic, or researching the businesses already ranking in a place? Each tool owns one of those jobs.

  2. 2

    Build the link, or install the extension

    The UTM Builder needs nothing but a URL. The maps extractor is a Chrome extension you get from its own developer.

  3. 3

    Read the page below the tool

    Each tool's own page documents its options, its limits and its exports in detail — worth two minutes before a big run.

Tips & detailed help

Which GBP links are worth tagging

Every field in your profile that points at your own site can carry tags: the website button, the menu or booking link, and any appointment URL. Directions and call actions happen inside Google, so those stay in your Business Profile insights rather than GA4.

Pick your UTM values once, then stick to them

The value of tagging comes from consistency, not cleverness. Choose a source and medium pair for GBP, use the same pair across every profile you manage, and let the campaign field carry the thing that actually varies — the location or the action.

What a maps extract can and can't give you

Google's local results carry a business name, website, phone, address and rating — so that's what comes out. Emails aren't in Google's data at all; they're found by visiting each business's own website afterwards, which is why that column is the emptiest one in any export.

When these aren't the right tools

If you're tracking rankings, grouping keywords or working through a pile of URLs, the job isn't location-specific — grab the right utility from the main SEO Tools list instead. Local tools earn their keep on local problems.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a local SEO tool here?

Anything whose job is tied to a place rather than a page. These tools deal with Google Business Profile and Google's local map results — measuring the traffic a profile sends you, and pulling structured data out of the businesses that show up on a map.

Do I need a Google Business Profile to use these?

Only for the GBP UTM Builder, and only to paste the finished link in. The builder itself works without any account — it just assembles the tagged URL. The Google Map Scraper page is about extracting data from other businesses' listings, so it needs no profile of your own.

Is the GBP UTM Builder free and private?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up and no server: the URL you paste and the tags you build never leave the page. It also installs as an app and keeps working offline.

Is the Google Map Scraper a SerpHammer tool?

No. Google Map Extractor is a third-party Chrome extension built by an independent developer. Our page is an independent guide to what it collects, what it exports and where it struggles. SerpHammer does not host, sell or support the extension.

Will UTM tags hurt my local rankings?

No. UTM parameters are query-string tags that analytics reads and Google's ranking systems ignore. They don't change the page a visitor lands on, and they are not a factor in how your Business Profile or your site is ranked.

Can I pin these tools?

Yes — the pin on each card here adds the tool to the Pinned row on the main SEO Tools page, so your local tools sit alongside the rest of your kit.
