## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## UK Business Lead Generator – Google Maps + Companies House

**Generate targeted UK business leads at $0.003 per business found.**

Scrape Google Maps for any business type in any UK location. Optionally enrich with Companies House data — director names, SIC codes, incorporation date, company status — all from the free public API.

### What it extracts

#### Google Maps (every business)
- Business name, category, address, phone, website
- Google rating and review count
- Google Maps URL, Place ID, coordinates

#### Companies House enrichment (optional)
- Company registration number and status
- Incorporation date
- SIC codes (industry classification)
- Active director names
- Registered address

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Run started | $0.05 |
| Business found | $0.003 |
| Business enriched (+ Companies House) | $0.007 |
| Business failed | $0.001 |

**50 businesses enriched = $0.40**

### Input

| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| searchQueries | required | Google Maps search queries (e.g. "plumbers in Manchester") |
| maxResultsPerQuery | 50 | Max listings per query |
| enrichWithCompaniesHouse | false | Add Companies House data |
| minRating | 0 | Filter by minimum Google rating |
| minReviewCount | 0 | Filter by minimum review count |
| includeWithoutWebsite | true | Include listings without a website |

### Output fields

`businessName`, `category`, `address`, `phone`, `website`, `rating`, `reviewCount`, `googleMapsUrl`, `placeId`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `companyNumber`, `companyStatus`, `incorporatedDate`, `sicCodes`, `directors`, `registeredAddress`, `searchQuery`, `enriched`, `status`, `chargedEvent`, `scrapedAt`

### n8n integration

Run weekly → filter `website: null` → send outreach emails to businesses without a web presence.

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 = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "plumbers in Manchester",
        "electricians in Birmingham"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("conceivable_extension/uk-local-business-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();
