• Zero Infrastructure Overhead: No Proxy APIs or login cookies required. It just works.
• Deep Intelligence: Extracts data points most scrapers miss, such as Response Times, Local Quote Volume, and Verified Licenses.
• Ad-Aware: Distinguishes between organic results and paid ads to help you analyze competitor spend.
• Lead-Gen Optimized: Identifies businesses with active "Call to Action" buttons (e.g., Get Pricing).

• Lead Scoring: Use the local_quote_requests field to prioritize businesses that are currently trending in their local area.
• Competitor Ad Research: Filter by is_ad: true to see which businesses are aggressively bidding on your target keywords.
