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.

A plumber with 50 reviews and no website is losing leads to competitors every day. You solve that problem. #### 📈 SEO & Digital Marketing Services Businesses listed on YellowPages but missing a website are perfect for SEO packages. They already want customers — they just need to be found on Google. #### 📱 Social Media Management Local businesses without websites often rely on Facebook or Instagram. Offer social media management as a stepping stone to full online presence. #### 🛒 Online Ordering & Booking Systems Restaurants, salons, and service businesses without websites can't take online orders or bookings. Offer them a simple booking page or online menu. #### 📍 Google Business Profile Optimization Many businesses without websites also have unoptimized Google profiles. Offer GBP setup and optimization as an easy entry service. #### 🏗️ Cold Outreach & Sales Teams Build targeted call lists by industry and city. Phone numbers are included — your sales team can start calling immediately. ### How It Works 1. You provide a business category and location 2. Actor searches YellowPages for matching businesses 3. Multiple pages are scraped in parallel for speed 4. Each business is checked for website presence (`hasWebsite` flag) 5. If `onlyWithoutWebsite` is enabled, businesses with websites are filtered out 6. Clean, structured data is saved to your Apify dataset ### Popular Categories to Search | Category | Why It Works | |----------|-------------| | Plumbers | High-value services, local SEO is critical | | Electricians | Emergency services, need to be found fast | | Restaurants | Online menus and ordering are essential | | Dentists | Patients search online before booking | | Lawyers | High-value clients, competitive market | | Auto Repair | Local trust-based business | | Landscaping | Seasonal demand, need online visibility | | Cleaning Services | Growing market, low online competition | | HVAC | Emergency services, local search dominant | | Real Estate Agents | Online presence is everything | ### Tips for Best Results - **Start with high-value categories** — plumbers, lawyers, dentists have the highest ROI for web services - **Use `onlyWithoutWebsite: true`** — focus on the hottest leads only - **Scrape multiple cities** — run the actor for each target city separately - **Use 3+ pages** — first page has the most established businesses, later pages have newer ones - **Combine with email finder** — some listings include email, for others use an email lookup tool ### FAQ #### How many businesses can I get per run? Each page returns ~30 businesses. With `pages: 10`, you get up to 300 businesses per run. Run multiple times with different categories or cities for larger datasets. #### Does it work outside the US? YellowPages.com covers US businesses. For other countries, check if they have a local YellowPages equivalent. #### How accurate is the "no website" detection? The actor checks the YellowPages listing for a website link. If the business hasn't added a website to their listing, `hasWebsite` will be `false`. Some businesses may have a website but haven't listed it — these are still good leads since their online presence is weak. #### Can I search for multiple categories at once? Currently one category per run. Run the actor multiple times with different categories and merge the results. #### How often should I run this? New businesses are added to YellowPages regularly. Running weekly or monthly keeps your lead list fresh. #### Is the data real-time? Yes — data is scraped live from YellowPages at the time of the run. You always get the latest listings. ### Integration Ideas - **CRM import** — push leads to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or Close - **Cold calling** — export phone numbers for your sales team - **Email outreach** — combine with email finder for automated campaigns - **Google Sheets** — export to spreadsheets for team collaboration - **Zapier / Make** — automate your lead pipeline with no-code workflows - **Slack alerts** — get notified when new businesses without websites are found # Actor input Schema ## `category` (type: `string`): Type of business to search for.
