## 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

## Local Service Lead Finder & Website Auditor 🚀

Generate high-intent B2B leads for marketing agencies and web designers in seconds. This Apify Actor scrapes local service businesses from **Google Maps** and automatically runs a deep, multi-point internal **technical audit on their websites**. Instead of raw, unorganized data, you get a highly targeted list of pre-qualified prospects filtered by real optimization flaws.

***

### 🔥 Key Benefits & Pitch

Most Google Maps scrapers dump thousands of generic lines of data, leaving you to spend hours sorting out dead ends. This Actor acts as a pre-qualified lead filter by identifying exactly **who needs your services**. Pitch clients with specific flaws already found on their sites, boosting cold outreach conversion rates instantly.

***

### ✨ Features & Automated Audits

The pipeline executes dual-stage processing:

1. **Google Maps Scraping:** Extracts titles, phone numbers, addresses, maps URLs, and ad campaigns.
2. **Automated Deep Website Audit:** Visits the business websites to instantly flag technical vulnerabilities:
   - ❌ **Missing Websites:** Targets businesses lacking an online presence entirely (High-intent target).
   - 📉 **Unanswered Negative Reviews:** Identifies poor review response management on Google Maps.
   - 🔒 **Unsecured Sites (HTTP vs HTTPS):** Flags domains that Google Chrome tags as "Not Secure."
   - 📱 **Mobile Rendering Flaws:** Inspects site frameworks for missing responsive viewport tags.
   - 🎯 **Wasted Ad Spend (Missing Pixels):** Flags businesses running Google Ads but missing a Meta Retargeting Pixel.
   - 📅 **No Online Scheduling:** Searches for missing booking keywords (`booking`, `schedule`, `appointment`).
   - 🌐 **Social Presence Disconnect:** Scans for missing links to Facebook or Instagram accounts.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,complex_intricate_networks/local-business-leads-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
