I recently learned that there are tools that can automatically gather information about businesses directly from map services, such as addresses, reviews, and contact details. How convenient and safe are these kinds of services to use, and is it possible to quickly collect data for a specific city or business category with them?      

Yeah man, these tools are honestly a lifesaver. You just pick the city and business type, and a google maps data scraper pulls everything into a spreadsheet in minutes, names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings, the works. I've used one before and it turned what would've been days of manual work into like 10 minutes. Safe too, since it runs on their servers, not your IP.
