Chiro Lead Scraper – Maps Phone Email (Unofficial)

Build outreach-ready lists of chiropractic clinics from Google Maps. Each run can return the Maps listing (name, address, phone, website, rating, hours) plus public website emails ranked for doctor-style addresses (dr@…, dr.smith@…), auto accident / personal injury (PI) language, technique mentions, new-patient promotions, and simple insurance / online-booking flags. Leads are tagged HOT / WARM / COLD so agencies can prioritize who to call first.

No AI language models. No Google Places API key required.

Who this is for

Team	Why it helps
Chiro marketing agencies	Local lists with phone + email + “needs website / needs offer” scoring
PI / injury marketers	Surface clinics that advertise auto accident, whiplash, or personal injury care
Clinic software & billing vendors	Segment by online booking, insurance language, multi-location chains
Wellness / supplement / device sellers	Technique and wellness-care language for niche targeting
Local lead ops	CRM-ready rows with Maps URL, E.164 phones, and optional MX flags

This is not a medical directory, credentialing product, or license-board verifier. Specialty and technique fields are public-page text signals only.

What makes it different from a basic Maps dump

A plain Maps scrape stops at “name + phone + website.” Clinics often hide real contact paths behind forms, publish only info@, or put PI language on deep pages. This Actor:

1. Opens each place on Google Maps (browser automation — not the Places API).
2. Groups sites by domain and crawls a small set of high-value public paths (contact, doctors/team, auto accident, personal injury, new patients, insurance…).
3. Harvests emails from mailto, visible text, obfuscated patterns (name [at] clinic [dot] com), and Cloudflare-style encoded attributes when present.
4. Scores emails so doctor-pattern locals rank above generic roles; optional MX check sorts domains that can receive mail higher.
5. Labels PI focus, techniques, new-patient offers, and booking/insurance hints from deterministic keyword rules.
6. Emits a lead tier aimed at agency opportunity (missing site, missing email, unclaimed listing → hotter).

Nothing is invented by AI. If a clinic never publishes an email on public HTML, the Actor will not invent one.

Features (detailed)

Maps discovery

• Multi-location × multi-keyword search on Google Maps
• Fields: business name, category, address, phone, website, rating, review count, hours, coordinates, Maps URL
• Unclaimed listing signal when Maps shows claim/own-this-business style language
• Safe Store defaults: 1 city, 1 term, max 5 places (raise after residential tests)

Email intelligence

• Sources: mailto:, page text, obfuscated at/dot text, Cloudflare data-cfemail decode (best-effort)
• Cleaning: strips DOM glue, rejects noreply, image-like addresses, junk hosts (wixpress, sentry, etc.), long hex tracking locals
• Doctor-pattern detection: dr@, dr.…, doctor… (and similar) preferred in sort order
• Role emails (info@, office@, appointments@) kept but scored lower
• Optional free MX validation per email domain (domain can receive mail — not proof a human answers that mailbox)

Clinic intelligence (keyword heuristics)

Signal group	Examples
Specialties	Auto Accident, Personal Injury, Workers Comp, Whiplash, Sports Injury, Slip & Fall, Pregnancy / Webster, Wellness Care
Techniques	Gonstead, Activator, Thompson, Diversified, Graston, Decompression, ART, Webster, Cox, Network Spinal
New-patient offers	Free Consultation, New Patient Special, Same Day Appointment, X-Ray Included
Ops flags	Insurance acceptance language, online booking CTAs, “accepting new patients”

Phones & ranking

• Maps phone + website tel: / text candidates merged via libphonenumber
• Stored as E.164 + national format when valid
• HOT / WARM / COLD + numeric score + human-readable reasons (heuristic only)

How to use

1. Enter locations (city, region, or ZIP) — e.g. Phoenix, AZ.
2. Enter search terms — start with chiropractors; use auto accident chiropractor or personal injury chiropractor when building PI lists.
3. Keep Max results per query low first (5 default; try 10–20 after proxy works).
4. Enable the enrichment toggles you need (emails, specialties, techniques, offers).
5. Set Proxy → Apify Proxy → RESIDENTIAL for Maps (strongly recommended).
6. Run the Actor, then export the dataset (CSV/JSON/Excel from the Console).

How to read lead tiers

Tier	Practical reading for outreach teams
HOT	Often no website, no public email, unclaimed Maps, or several digital gaps — high “fix / SEO / capture” opportunity
WARM	Reachable clinic with partial maturity (e.g. phone + site but weak offers, no booking, only role email)
COLD	Stronger digital footprint already — still useful for research, competitive maps, or partner lists

Tiers are deterministic heuristics, not medical quality scores and not purchase intent.

Useful boolean shortcuts in the dataset

• hasDoctorEmail / drEmail — doctor-pattern address present
• isPISpecialist / isAutoAccident / isWorkersComp — PI-oriented language
• isDecompression — higher-ticket service language often appears with this technique
• hasFreeConsultation / hasNewPatientSpecial — promo language
• hasInsuranceInfo / hasOnlineBooking / acceptingNewPatients

Pricing

Billing is pay per event + platform usage.

1. Event fees — paid to the Actor developer (table below)
2. Platform usage — paid to Apify for compute, storage, transfer, and proxies

Platform usage & residential proxy (important)

• Maps discovery runs a full browser. Traffic is heavier than simple HTTP scrapes.
• Use Apify Proxy → RESIDENTIAL for stable Maps results.
• Residential is billed per GB (plan-dependent; many lower plans land near $7–$8 / GB — verify in your Apify plan).
• On small tests, proxy + compute often exceed event fees.
• Start with one city × one keyword × 3–5 places before scaling.
• Without residential proxy, Maps frequently returns zero places.

Event fees

Event name	When it fires	Price
placeLead	Each clinic row saved	$0.004 ($4.00 / 1,000)
phoneLead	Lead has ≥1 validated phone	$0.005 ($5.00 / 1,000)
emailLead	Lead has ≥1 public email	$0.005 ($5.00 / 1,000)

Also expect a tiny Actor start fee if enabled in Console. Do not keep apify-default-dataset-item alongside these custom events, or the same clinic can be billed twice.

Event-only cost examples (usage extra)

Mix	Rough event total
1,000 clinics, phones only	≈ $9 + usage
1,000 clinics, phone + email on all	≈ $14 + usage
1,000 clinics, phones all, emails on ~40%	≈ $11 + usage

Tips for better lists (and lower waste)

• Prefer residential proxy; scale cities only after a cheap smoke run.
• For PI outreach, mix keywords: auto accident chiropractor, whiplash chiropractor, personal injury chiropractor.
• Increase maxWebsitePagesPerPlace to 4–5 when doctor or PI content lives deep in the site.
• Use only doctor-pattern emails when you want direct clinician addresses; expect lower volume.
• Use only PI specialists after a broad run if you need a PI-only slice.
• Chains (e.g. national brands) may block automated site crawls (403) — Maps phone/address still save; emails may be empty.
• Volume cost scales with locations × terms × places × pages; residential GB usually dominates Maps cost.

---

Compliance & acceptable use

Use only for lawful purposes and follow:

• Apify Acceptable Use Policy — including no unsolicited mass messaging, no fraud, no abusive load
• Apify General Terms and Conditions
• Google’s Terms and each clinic site’s terms
• Privacy (GDPR/CCPA) and anti-spam (CAN-SPAM/CASL) rules where they apply

This Actor targets public business pages only. It does not log into portals, solve CAPTCHAs, open paywalls, fabricate contacts, or send messages for you. Published emails and phones may still be personal data. Do not spam. This is not legal advice.

---

Limitations

• Non-residential IPs are often blocked or empty on Maps.
• Emails inside images, PDFs, widgets, or pure client-side apps may be missed.
• Obfuscation / Cloudflare decoding is best-effort, not universal.
• MX success means “domain has mail servers,” not “this mailbox is monitored.”
• Specialty, technique, and offer labels are text heuristics, not board certifications or clinical claims.
• Large national clinic sites may rate-limit or 403 HTML crawls while Maps data still works.
• Google Maps layout and anti-bot behavior change over time.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	What to try
0 Maps results	Turn on RESIDENTIAL proxy; lower max places; check the run log for consent/block messages
Places but empty emails	Normal for form-only sites; raise page count; try contact-heavy keywords; check hasOnlineBooking
No doctor-pattern emails	Many clinics only publish info@ — turn off “only doctor email” or broaden search
Chain site 403 on crawl	Expected for some brands; rely on Maps phone; optional website proxy
Run is slow or expensive	Cut locations/terms/max places/pages; residential GB is usually the main cost
Filter empties the dataset	Disable PI-only / email-only / MX-only / doctor-only for a baseline run
