  • Another method:

    • Do a search in Google Maps for the business name and make sure it’s the only result that shows up.
    • Replace http:// with view-source: in the URL
    • Click CTRL+F and search the source code for “ludocid”
    • The CID will be the string of numbers after “ludocid\\u003d” and before #lrd

Example: If this is the code, the CID is in red:

ON+L3Y+4V8\\u0026ludocid\\u003d18208190227674681406#lrd\\u003d0x882ace1b6df9d1db:0xfcb07c8a7b49d03e
