# Website Filter: keep Google Maps businesses with or without a website

> The Website Filter narrows your Google Maps Leads Scraper results by website presence — keep only businesses that have a website, or only those that don't, ideal for web-design and SEO prospecting.

Whether you want prospects who already have a website (so you can find their email) or ones who don't (perfect for web-design and SEO pitches), the **Website Filter** narrows your Google Maps results by website presence.

## What it does

The Website Filter is a dropdown with three values:

| Value             | What it returns                      |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `all` *(default)* | Every listing — no filtering.        |
| `with_website`    | Only businesses that have a website. |
| `without_website` | Only businesses without a website.   |

## Where to find it

The Website Filter is in your Squid's **Advanced Settings**. It defaults to `all`.

## What it costs

Set to `with_website` or `without_website`, it **adds 0.2 credits per kept row** (on top of the base 1 credit per row). Left at `all`, it's **free**. Rows it drops cost nothing.

## Interaction with email extraction

**Email extraction has no effect with `without_website`** — these businesses have no website to scrape, so there's nothing to pull an email from. Don't combine the two: you'd still pay the 0.2 website surcharge while [Extract Emails from Website](/enrichment/emails-google-maps) does nothing.

## Use cases

* **Web-design, SEO, and hosting agencies → `without_website`.** Find local businesses with no online presence to pitch.
* **Email outreach → `with_website`.** Only businesses with a website can yield an email via Extract Emails from Website, so pair `with_website` with email extraction for a higher hit rate.

## Common mistakes

* **`with_website` only filters what Google returns** — it doesn't discover extra listings, it just removes the ones without a website.
* **You pay per kept row.** Set to `with_website` or `without_website`, it adds 0.2 credits to every business you keep.
