## 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

## B2B Cold Call Leads Hunter & Qualifier

An Apify Actor that finds local business leads from Google Business Profiles, enriches them with contact emails, and flags actionable cold-call pitch angles — so your sales team calls with a reason, not just a number.

---

### What It Does

1. **Searches Google Maps** for businesses matching your query (e.g., "Roofers in Austin TX")
2. **Scrapes each profile** for name, category, phone, address, rating, review count, website, hours, and photo count
3. **Visits business websites** to extract public contact email addresses (with configurable crawl depth)
4. **Qualifies each lead** by flagging specific pitch angles:
   - 🌐 **Pitch Web Design** — no website listed
   - ⭐ **Pitch Reputation Management** — rating below 4.0
   - 💬 **Pitch Review Generation** — fewer than 10 reviews
   - 🔍 **Pitch SEO** — website is on a low-authority builder platform
   - 🕐 **Pitch Missing Hours** — business hours not listed
   - 📷 **Pitch No Photos** — no photos on profile
5. **Scores each lead** (0–100) based on data completeness and pitch opportunity value

---

### Output Format

Each record in the dataset looks like:

```json
{
  "placeId": "ChIJ...",
  "searchQuery": "Roofers in Austin TX",
  "name": "Austin Pro Roofing LLC",
  "category": "Roofing contractor",
  "address": "123 Main St, Austin, TX 78701",
  "phone": "+15125550199",
  "website": "http://austinproroofing.com",
  "rating": 3.8,
  "reviewCount": 7,
  "hoursAvailable": true,
  "photoCount": 2,
  "emails": ["info@austinproroofing.com"],
  "pitchAngles": [
    {
      "flag": "pitch_reputation_management",
      "label": "⭐ Pitch Reputation Management",
      "reason": "Rating is 3.8 — below the 4.0 trust threshold."
    },
    {
      "flag": "pitch_review_generation",
      "label": "💬 Pitch Review Generation",
      "reason": "Only 7 reviews — very few social proof signals."
    }
  ],
  "leadScore": 85,
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...",
  "scrapedAt": "2024-01-15T10:23:45.000Z"
}

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | string\[] | — | Queries like "Roofers in Austin TX" |
| `maxLeadsPerQuery` | integer | 20 | Max businesses to collect per query (1–100) |
| `enrichWithEmails` | boolean | true | Visit websites to extract emails |
| `emailEnrichmentDepth` | integer | 2 | How many pages deep to crawl for emails (1–3) |
| `minRatingFilter` | number | 0 | Skip businesses below this star rating |
| `requirePhone` | boolean | false | Skip businesses without a phone number |
| `pitchAngles` | string\[] | all | Which pitch flags to evaluate |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential | Apify proxy settings |

***

### Tips for Best Results

- **Use Apify Residential proxies** — Google Maps aggressively blocks datacenter IPs
- **Keep `maxLeadsPerQuery` ≤ 40** for faster, more reliable runs
- **Set `emailEnrichmentDepth: 1`** if you only need homepage emails and want faster runs
- **Run multiple queries** in one actor call — they batch efficiently
- **Sort the dataset by `leadScore` descending** to prioritise your warmest leads

***

### Lead Score Breakdown

| Signal | Points |
|--------|--------|
| Has phone number | +15 |
| Has at least one email | +20 |
| Has website | +5 |
| Rating ≥ 4.0 | +5 |
| ≥ 10 reviews | +5 |
| Each pitch angle (max 4) | +5 each |
| Base score | 50 |
