How to Scrape Google Results in Google Sheets


  1. Install ImportFromWeb and attach the tool to your Google Sheets

  2. Create a new Google Sheets document

  3. Navigate to Extensions, find ImportFromWeb, and click on "Activate add-on"

  4. Type a query (keyword you would like to search for) in any cell For example, we will use the keyword coworking spaces in Dubai

  5. In a different cell type this formula: =IMPORTFROMGOOGLE(A1) *replace A1 with the cell where you imported the keyword*



The tool will populate the results. You can add a header for each column including Keyword, Page Title, Meta Description, Link, and Date.


You can also include more than one keyword in the formula and perform a simultaneous search for multiple queries. You can just change the formula to include all the cells with your keywords.


For example, if we have two keywords (coworking spaces in Dubai and coworking spaces in Manila) in cells A1 and A2, we can modify the formula as per the below:


=IMPORTFROMGOOGLE(A1:A2). The extension will populate results relevant to both keywords.
