## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Apify Google Leads

Extract business leads from Google Maps for a keyword and location, then enrich each result with website-based signals such as emails, social links, tech stack hints, SEO data, and a lead score.

### What This Actor Does

Give the Actor a search like:

- `Dentists` in `London`
- `Roofers` in `Austin, Texas`
- `Immigration lawyers` in `Dubai`

It will return businesses with structured lead data such as:

- business name
- category
- address
- city and country
- phone number
- website
- extracted emails
- social links
- technology stack hints
- SEO details
- lead score and short reason

All results are written to the default Apify dataset.

### Typical Use Cases

- build local business prospect lists
- find companies with weak web presence
- collect sales leads by niche and city
- enrich Google Maps results before outreach
- export leads for CRM or spreadsheet workflows

### Input

#### Required

- `keyword`: the type of business or search phrase
- `location`: the city, region, or country to search

#### Optional

- `max_results`: maximum number of leads to collect
- `provider_mode`: choose how Google data is collected
- `playwright_headless`: run the browser invisibly or visibly when browser mode is used
- `export_format`: preferred export artifact format
- `enable_ai`: reserved for future AI summary support

### Provider Modes

#### `playwright`

This is the default mode on Apify.

Use it when:

- you want the simplest setup
- you do not want to provide a Google Places API key
- browser-based Google Maps extraction is acceptable

#### `api`

Use this mode when:

- you want to use the Google Places API
- you have a valid `GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY`
- you prefer API-backed collection instead of browser extraction

If you choose `api`, add `GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY` in the Actor environment variables or secrets.

### Output

Each dataset item contains a structured business record. Common fields include:

- `id`
- `name`
- `category`
- `address`
- `city`
- `country`
- `phone`
- `website`
- `emails`
- `social_links`
- `technology_stack`
- `ai_summary`
- `outreach_message`
- `lead_score`
- `lead_reason`

### How To Use On Apify

1. Open the Actor input form.
2. Enter a `keyword` and `location`.
3. Leave `provider_mode` as `playwright` for the easiest first run.
4. Set `max_results` based on how many businesses you want.
5. Run the Actor.
6. Open the dataset to review and export the results.

### Recommended First Run

- `keyword`: `Dentists`
- `location`: `London`
- `max_results`: `25`
- `provider_mode`: `playwright`

### Notes

- `playwright` mode does not require a Google API key.
- `api` mode requires `GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY`.
- Website enrichment depends on whether a business website is publicly available and reachable.
- Some businesses may have partial data if Google Maps or the target website does not expose every field.

### Output Quality Tips

- Use specific keywords like `family dentists`, `solar installers`, or `personal injury lawyers`.
- Use realistic locations such as a city, metro area, or country.
- Start with smaller runs to validate the niche before scaling up.
- If you need a simpler first run, keep the default Playwright mode.

# Actor input Schema

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Business category or search phrase, for example `Dentists`, `Roofers`, or `Family lawyers`.
## `location` (type: `string`):

City, country, or target search area used with the keyword, for example `London`, `Austin, Texas`, or `Dubai`.
## `max_results` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of businesses to return.
## `provider_mode` (type: `string`):

Default `playwright` runs without a Google API key. Use `api` only if you set `GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY` in Actor environment variables or secrets.
## `playwright_headless` (type: `boolean`):

Run Chromium headlessly when `provider_mode` is `playwright`.
## `export_format` (type: `string`):

The engine also builds other export artifacts internally, while the Actor always writes full business objects to the dataset.
## `enable_ai` (type: `boolean`):

Reserved for future AI-backed summaries in the core engine.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keyword": "Dentists",
  "location": "London",
  "max_results": 25,
  "provider_mode": "playwright",
  "playwright_headless": true,
