GBP Audit Leads: Unclaimed & Incomplete Google Business Profile

A GBP audit built for lead generation: find local businesses whose Google Business Profile (GMB) needs work, ready for a local SEO agency to pitch. Give a business type and a city; you get back the businesses whose Google profile is unclaimed or incomplete, sorted by an opportunity score, with the exact gaps and a one-line pitch for each.

What it checks (all from Google Maps data, no extra crawling)

Gap	Points
Profile is unclaimed (the owner never verified it)	35
No website on the profile	15
Fewer than 10 reviews (10-29: 5)	15
No opening hours	10
Fewer than 5 photos (5-14: 5)	10
Rating under 4.0 (with 5+ reviews)	10
No phone number	5

The score is capped at 100. Closed businesses are skipped. Use Minimum opportunity score (default 30) to keep only real opportunities, or Only unclaimed profiles for the hottest pitch: "your business is on Google, but you don't control the listing".

Cost

• $0.003 per lead returned (a business at or above your minimum score). Businesses below the bar are free.
• Google Maps search runs through Apify's Google Maps Scraper and is billed to your account at its own price (about $4 per 1,000 places). No Maps filters are used, so you don't pay its per-filter extras. Set Max Google Maps cost to cap it.
• Already have a Google Maps Scraper dataset? Pass its ID in Existing Google Maps dataset ID and skip the search.

FAQ

Who is this for? Local SEO and Google Business Profile agencies, web designers and reputation-management freelancers looking for businesses with a clear, fixable problem.

How much do 100 leads cost, all in? It depends on the trade, because the share of businesses with a fixable profile varies. In our test runs (Boise, 20 places each, minimum score 30): handymen gave 8-9 leads per 20 places, plumbers 1 per 20. So 100 places cost about $0.40 of Google Maps plus $0.003 per lead: about $0.52 for ~40 handyman leads, or about $0.42 for ~5 plumber leads. Trades with many small one-person businesses give the most leads.

How accurate is "unclaimed"? It's Google's own "Own this business?" flag as read by Google Maps Scraper.
