## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Yelp No-Website Leads Scraper - Web Design & Agency Prospector

Discover local businesses on Yelp that have **zero custom website** or rely exclusively on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok profiles.

Most marketing agencies waste hours pitching business owners who already paid $5,000 for a website last year. Pitching businesses with **no website at all** or a basic social profile produces the highest response rates in B2B cold outreach because the pain point is undeniable.

***

### Key Capabilities

- **Missing Website Detection**: Identifies businesses across any city and industry that lack a registered web domain.
- **Social-as-Website Categorization**: Flags businesses using Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok as their only digital presence.
- **Automated Web Design Pitch Angles**: Generates personalized outreach angles (e.g. custom domain benefits, digital ordering, conversion tracking).
- **Profile Claim Audit**: Audits whether the Yelp listing is claimed or unmanaged.
- **Complete Contact Profiles**: Delivers business name, direct phone number, street address, Yelp profile URL, rating, and review count.

***

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `locations` | Array of Strings | `["Miami, FL"]` | Target metropolitan markets (e.g. `Miami, FL`, `Austin, TX`, `Scottsdale, AZ`). |
| `categories` | Array of Strings | `["Restaurants"]` | Industry categories (e.g. `Restaurants`, `Spas & Salons`, `Auto Repair`, `Dental`). |
| `includeSocialOnly` | Boolean | `true` | Includes businesses using Instagram or Facebook instead of a website. |
| `maxResults` | Integer | `10` | Maximum business records to collect (1 to 5000). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | `{ "useApifyProxy": true }` | Proxy configuration for request routing. |

```json

  "opportunityGrade": "GRADE_A_HIGH_CONVERTING",
  "salesPitchAngle": "High Priority: Uses Instagram as Only Website (Pitch Custom Domain, Digital Menu & Lead Capture)",

### Practical Applications

- **Local Marketing Agencies**: Sell bundled packages including domain registration, logo design, professional website, and Google Business setup.
- **SEO Consultants**: Target high-volume local keywords for local businesses that currently have no website to rank on search engines.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "locations": [
        "Miami, FL"
    ],
    "categories": [
        "Restaurants"
    ],
    "maxResults": 10,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("automation_studio/yelp-no-website-leads").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "locations": ["Miami, FL"],
    "categories": ["Restaurants"],
    "maxResults": 10,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": True },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("automation_studio/yelp-no-website-leads").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "locations": [
    "Miami, FL"
  ],
  "categories": [
    "Restaurants"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call automation_studio/yelp-no-website-leads --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,automation_studio/yelp-no-website-leads"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
