Who is this for? This workflow is built for marketers, sales teams, agencies, virtual assistants, and anyone who regularly researches or contacts local businesses. It's ideal for building lead lists, tracking competitors, or creating location-specific outreach campaigns. What problem is this workflow solving? Instead of manually searching Google Maps and copying business info into spreadsheets, this automation pulls structured business data (e.g. restaurants, gyms, service providers) and logs it directly into Google Sheets. It saves hours of work and ensures cleaner, more usable data. What this workflow does The workflow takes a Google Maps search query (like "best restaurants in New York") and sends it to Dumpling AI. It returns a list of places including their name, address, website, phone number, rating, and more. Each result is split into a row and automatically added to a Google Sheet.

WTrack buyer query citation sources with GPT-4o and Google Sheets
Quick overview This workflow tracks which sources ChatGPT cites for buyer queries.vIt runs weekly to test buyer queries against OpenAI’s GPT-4o web search, extracts the cited URLs, and logs per-query citation counts and domain classifications to Google Sheets. How it works Runs every week on a schedule trigger. Reads a list of buyer queries (including brand and competitor context) from the queries tab in Google Sheets. Sends each query to OpenAI’s gpt-4o-mini-search-preview three times with web search enabled and extracts the url_citation annotations from each response. Aggregates citations per query and domain, calculating citation totals and a sample hit rate across the three runs. Sends the unique cited domains to OpenAI’s gpt-4o-mini to classify each domain into a source taxonomy (brand site, competitor site, review platform, community, publisher, or docs/other). Appends the aggregated rows with the domain classification and an example URL to the citations tab in Google Sheets. Setup Add an OpenAI API key as an HTTP Header Auth credential (Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY) for both OpenAI HTTP requests. Add a Google Sheets credential with access to the target spreadsheet.

WLog nearby businesses from OpenStreetMap to Google Sheets by proximity
Quick overview This workflow collects a location and business search criteria via an n8n form, geocodes the location with OpenStreetMap Nominatim, finds nearby matching businesses using the Overpass API, and appends normalized results (including website availability) to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. How it works Receives a submission from an n8n form with a location, business category, search radius, and maximum results. Sends the location text to OpenStreetMap Nominatim to retrieve latitude and longitude coordinates. Stops if the location cannot be geocoded, preventing an invalid proximity search. Builds an Overpass QL query for the selected business category and radius around the geocoded coordinates. Calls the OpenStreetMap Overpass API to return matching nodes/ways and their tags (for example website, phone, and opening hours). Normalizes the returned elements into a consistent set of fields, flags whether a website is present, and appends the rows to Google Sheets. Setup Add a Google Sheets credential and select the target spreadsheet and sheet in the Google Sheets append step. Update the User-Agent value to include a real contact email to comply with OpenStreetMap usage policy
