Free tool
Google Place ID Finder
Paste a Google Maps place URL (or open from the Place ID Finder extension) to extract the Google Place ID. No signup, no Places API key.
- Open the business on Google Maps.
- Copy the full URL from the address bar — or use the Place ID Finder extension button.
- Paste it above to extract the Place ID (derived from the Maps hex pair when needed).
This tool reads or derives Place ID from the URL you paste. It does not search by business name. Prefer pulling every ID at once? Maps ID Extractor also returns CID and KG ID.
Place ID is buried until you need it for tracking
Rank workflows, review links, and Maps deep links start with Place ID extraction from a URL.

FAQ
Does the extension need Place ID manually?
Usually no—the scan panel reads the open Maps listing. Place ID helps for links and docs.
