Getting started

Create a free MeCrawl account (10,000 places/month, no credit card) and understand the path from signup to your first export.

Start here if you are new. You will create an account, choose how to collect data, then review and export from the dashboard.

Recommended path

  1. Create a free account — community use includes 10,000 places/month with no credit card.

  2. Choose how you will collect: Chrome extension for interactive Maps work, or desktop tools for larger self-serve crawls.

  3. Sign in so extension and desktop results sync into your dashboard workspace.

  4. Review listings in the dashboard, then export CSV, Excel, or JSON when ready.

  5. When you need automation, create an API token and call the User Business API.

Getting started FAQ

Do I need a paid plan to try MeCrawl?

No. Everyday community use includes 10,000 places/month with no credit card. Usage fees apply only when you collect far beyond that allowance.

Extension, desktop, or API — which should I start with?

Start with the Chrome extension for interactive Maps collection, desktop tools for larger self-serve crawls, and the User Business API when you need automation. All sync to the same account workspace.
