Home Services Google Maps Lead Generator

Scrapes HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, solar, garage door, pest control, and landscaping contractor leads directly from Google Maps by location — business name, rating, category, address, phone, website, and a direct Google Maps listing link — then visits each contractor's own website to detect email addresses, the specific services they offer, whether they provide 24/7 emergency service, and their social media profiles.

Built on a real Chrome browser driven by the actual Clura Chrome extension (not a lightweight HTTP scraper), so it holds up against the same anti-bot measures a real user's browser would face, and self-heals its selectors with AI if Google changes Maps' markup.

How it works

1. Search Google Maps — for each location you provide, the actor searches Google Maps for each of your chosen contractor types, rotating across all of them to surface more distinct businesses per area than a single generic query would. Covers 8 trades by default: HVAC (9 search-term variants), Plumbing, Electrical, Roofing, Solar, Garage Door, Pest Control, and Landscaping — or supply your own custom search terms for any other trade.
2. Extract listing data — business name, rating, category, address, phone, website, and Google Maps URL are read directly from the search results.
3. Deduplicate — contractors found under more than one search term are merged into one record, keyed on phone number first, then website domain.
4. Enrich from each contractor's website — the actor visits each website's homepage once and extracts:
   • The first email address found on the page
   • Which of 36 services across all 8 trades the page mentions — AC Installation/Repair, Heating Repair, Furnace Install/Repair, Boiler Repair, Heat Pump Service, Duct Cleaning, Indoor Air Quality, Refrigeration, Plumbing Repair, Drain Cleaning, Water Heater Installation, Leak Detection, Electrical Panel Upgrade, Rewiring, Lighting Installation, Roof Replacement/Repair, Gutter Installation, Solar Panel Install/Repair, Garage Door Repair/Installation, Pest Control, Termite Treatment, Rodent Control, Lawn Care, Landscaping Design, Tree/Shrub Care, and more
   • Whether they explicitly advertise 24/7 emergency service
   • Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X profile links

Input

Field	Type	Description
locations	array (required)	Zip codes or city/state to search, e.g. ["75201", "Austin, TX"]. Every search term runs once per location.
searchTerms	array	Contractor types to search for. Defaults to a rotation across all 8 trades listed above if left empty — add your own for a custom trade or search.
maxLeadsPerSearch	integer	Max leads per location × search-term combination. Default 30.
maxPagesPerSearch	integer	Max scroll/pagination steps per search before stopping. Default 5.
enrichWebsite	boolean	Visit each lead's website to extract email/services/24-7-flag/social links. Default true.
openaiApiKey	string	Only used if Google Maps' markup has changed enough that the built-in selectors stop working, to re-detect them via AI. Optional.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings.

Output

Each record: name, rating, category, address, phone, website, mapsUrl, searchTerm, location, email, services (array), emergency24_7 (boolean), socialLinks (object).

What this actor does NOT do (please read before running)

• No email verification. Extracted emails are exactly what's published on the contractor's website — there's no DNS/SMTP deliverability check.
• Homepage only. Website enrichment reads the contractor's homepage — it doesn't crawl into separate Contact/About/Services pages.
• No review count. Google Maps' search-results list doesn't render review count for every listing, so it isn't a reliable field to offer here.
• Results per search are capped by what Google Maps itself returns for a single query (typically well under 200).

Who this is for

• Home services SaaS vendors (dispatch, invoicing, field service management) sourcing contractors to sell into.
• Equipment and parts suppliers finding local contractors to sell to.
• Marketing agencies running lead-gen for home-services clients.
• Insurance and home-warranty programs identifying certified contractors for repair networks.
• PE and franchise roll-up acquirers — home services is one of the most actively consolidated sectors in the market right now (documented platforms exist for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, pest control, and more).
• Recruiting — sourcing technicians and companies hiring in a specific market.
• Market research — contractor density, service mix, and emergency-service coverage by city.
