Google Maps Business Status Checker

Google Maps

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A bulk validation and enrichment tool for Google Maps place references that checks each provided business for live open/closed status, current status text, permanent or temporary closure state, and the full weekly opening-hours listing; it processes lists of Google Maps place references (URLs, short links, Place IDs and similar identifiers) with no login required and returns one record per input that includes live status information as shown on Google Maps, weekday hours, identity and contact metadata (name, address, phone, website), rating and review counts, place identifiers and the timestamp of the check, and a per-record resolution error when an input cannot be resolved.
