As far as I can see you'll have to manually search, zoom in on the map, etc...

I searched your keyword (new york gas stations), clicked the link below the 3-pack on Google Search results, was sent to Google Maps, zoomed in on an area of New York, scrolled through the list of businesses on the left side of Google Maps.

This could be automated If you have the business name/address from scraping a local directory because Google SERPs has a couple of footprints in the HTML source code.

maybe because im dumb

i just want to do something that returns a list of places that dont have websites

if i search new york gas stations i get a list of places with and without sites. i just want it to return places without.

You would have to custom code a tool to do that. There is no search option like that in Google.

Probably not real difficult for someone that knows how to code something like that.

I don't know what he might charge or if he has the time, but @BIG Mike could probably put together a little bot to do that pretty easily.

There's already apps out there for scraping, just make sure whatever you pick is up to date and working right now because websites/Google change over time.

Scrape everything for your keyword, export as a CSV, sort the website column offline, there's the businesses without sites.

A custom app is going to charge you way more money to get the same end result/data.
