How to get a Google Maps URL

  1. Go to Google Maps
  2. Search for a business or click a place on the map
  3. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar
  4. Paste it in the tool above

The URL usually looks like https://www.google.com/maps/place/Business+Name/@lat,lng,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6... — the longer and uglier, the more IDs we can extract.

Which ID do you need?

  • Place ID — Use this for the Google Places API, embedded maps, or direct review links. The most commonly-used ID.
  • CID (Decimal) — Use for direct business links (google.com/maps?cid=...), SEO-tool tracking, or anywhere you need a permanent identifier that won't change.
  • CID (Hex) — Same as the decimal CID, in hexadecimal. You'll see it in Maps URLs. The converter above swaps between them.
  • FID / Google ID — Rarely needed by most users. Used in some advanced scraping & data analysis workflows.

What if the tool can't find an ID?

  • For Place IDs: Use Google's official Recherche de Place ID, or search the URL data string for "ChIJ".
  • For CIDs: Click "Share" → "Copy link" on the place. The shared URL often contains the CID. Or "View Page Source" and search for "ludocid".
  • For bulk lookups: If you need IDs for hundreds of businesses, use the Extracteur Google Maps — it exports all IDs automatically.

Frequently asked

Quick answers,
no fluff.

What is a Google Maps Place ID?+
A unique text identifier Google assigns to every place on Maps. Always starts with ChIJ. Used in the Places API, embed URLs, and review links. Place IDs can occasionally change — don't treat them as permanent.
What is a CID (Ludocid)?+
A unique numeric identifier (Customer ID, also called Ludocid) for a business on Google Maps. Unlike Place IDs, CIDs are permanent and never change. Often found as the cid URL parameter or encoded as a hex value in the data string.
What is the FID / Google ID?+
The Feature ID — a hexadecimal internal identifier Google uses. Appears as the first part of the 0x...:0x... pair in Maps URLs. Less commonly used than Place ID or CID.
Can I convert between Place ID and CID?+
Not directly client-side. Place IDs and CIDs are different identifier systems. But if your Maps URL contains both (many do), this tool extracts both at once. You can also use the Google Places API to look up Place ID details.
Why does the tool say "Not found in URL" for some IDs?+
Not every Google Maps URL contains all three ID types. A simple search URL might have only a Place ID; a direct business link might have only a CID. The tool extracts whatever's available. For missing IDs, try the alternative methods listed in the guide above.
