Is GMB Everywhere - GBP Audit for Local SEO safe?
GMB Everywhere is medium risk. Local Scan sends scraped Maps listings plus the page URL to data.gmbeverywhere.com in one POST. Maps encodes the search query into the URL, so it goes too, per a planted marker test. The searchTerm field is stale, always empty.

Local Scan sends scraped Maps listings plus the page URL to data.gmbeverywhere.com in one POST.
Maps encodes the search query into the URL, so it goes too, per a planted marker test.
The searchTerm field is stale, always empty.
You search Google Maps and click the extension's Local Scan button on the results page.
The search term becomes part of the Google Maps results-page URL, e.g. /maps/search/pizza+near+me/.
The extension sends the full page URL, together with scraped business data, to data.gmbeverywhere.com.
The URL and the search term embedded in it are not stripped or filtered before the request is sent.
