## 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

## Google Maps Leads Scraper — No-Website Finder & Contacts

Stop paying for stale lead lists or copy-pasting from Google Maps by hand. Point this Actor at any business category and any location on Earth, and get back a clean, ready-to-call dataset — complete with a built-in **opportunity score** that instantly surfaces the businesses most worth contacting: legitimate, reachable, and **missing a website**.

If you sell websites, SEO, ads, or any local-business service, this is your prospect list, pre-qualified.

### Why this Actor

- 🎯 **Built-in lead qualification, not just raw data.** Most Maps scrapers hand you a spreadsheet and leave the filtering to you. This one ships with a `noWebsite` filter, minimum rating/review thresholds, and a transparent 0–100 opportunity score on every single result — so the first row in your dataset is your best lead, not a random one.
- 🌍 **Works anywhere, for anything.** Restaurants in Chicago, plumbers in Manchester, dentists in Sydney — one Actor, no per-vertical version, no region lock-in.
- ⚡ **Fast and cheap because it's built the right way.** Reads Google's own internal search data directly instead of scraping rendered page text, so phone, website, rating, and review count all arrive in a single lightweight request per location — no separate detail-page visit per listing, no wasted compute.
- 🛡️ **Resilient by design.** Most Maps scrapers break the moment Google tweaks a CSS class name in a frontend redesign. This one parses the underlying data structure instead of rendered HTML, so it isn't tied to Google's ever-changing markup.
- 📋 **Actually usable output.** Consistent columns, one row per business, drops straight into a CRM, cold-email tool, or spreadsheet — no cleanup pass required.

### What you get

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `name` | Business name |
| `location` | The location searched (from your input list) |
| `category` | Google's primary listing category, e.g. "Italian restaurant", "Plumber" |
| `categories` | All of Google's category labels for the listing |
| `opportunityScore` | 0–100 score: +50 if no website, +15 if a phone number is listed, +15 if rating ≥ 4, +20 if reviews ≥ 20 |
| `rating` | Average star rating (0–5) |
| `reviewsCount` | Number of Google reviews |
| `priceLevel` | Price indicator when available (often unset — see FAQ) |
| `address` | Full street address |
| `phone` | Phone number |
| `website` / `websiteUrl` | Business website domain and full URL |
| `latitude` / `longitude` | Coordinates |
| `googlePlaceId` / `googleMapsUrl` | Stable Google identifiers and a direct link back to the listing |

### Input options

| Option | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `searchTerm` | `restaurants` | The business type to search for — any category works, e.g. `plumbers`, `dentists`, `coffee shops` |
| `locations` | `["Austin, TX"]` | Any city, town, address, or region worldwide — one search per location, results merged |
| `maxPlacesPerLocation` | `10` | Cap on listings collected per location (after filters) |
| `maxLocations` | `1` | Cap on how many locations from your list to run — defaults to a fast 1-location smoke test; raise it (or clear it) to cover your full list |
| `websiteFilter` | `any` | Set to `noWebsite` for an instant agency prospect list; `hasWebsite` for the opposite |
| `minRating` | — | Only keep businesses at or above this star rating |
| `minReviews` | — | Only keep businesses with at least this many reviews |
| `requirePhone` | `false` | Only keep businesses with a listed phone number |
| `maxConcurrency` | `5` | Parallel browser pages — raise for speed, lower to control resource use |

### Get your best leads in one run

Want a call-ready list of legitimate local businesses that need a website? Set:

```json
{
  "searchTerm": "restaurants",
  "locations": ["Denver, CO"],
  "websiteFilter": "noWebsite",
  "requirePhone": true,
  "minReviews": 10
}
```

Every result is already contactable, already has real customer traction, and is missing the one thing your agency sells.

### Use cases

- **Web design / marketing agency prospecting** — the fastest way to build a cold-call list of businesses that need exactly what you offer.
- **Sales & lead generation** — build a prospect list for any business type in any target market.
- **Market research** — gauge business density, categories, and average ratings across a region before entering it.
- **Local SEO audits** — pull a client's competitive set (ratings, review counts, categories) in their service area.

### Example output

```json
{
  "name": "The Gage",
  "location": "Chicago, IL",
  "category": "American restaurant",
  "categories": ["American restaurant", "Bar", "New American restaurant", "Pub"],
  "opportunityScore": 50,
  "priceLevel": null,
  "rating": 4.6,
  "reviewsCount": 4512,
  "address": "The Gage, 24 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603, United States",
  "phone": "+1 312-372-4243",
  "website": "thegagechicago.com",
  "websiteUrl": "https://thegagechicago.com/",
  "latitude": 41.8813268,
  "longitude": -87.6246925,
  "googlePlaceId": "ChIJ5a8ra6QsDogRENtJLAp40AE",
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJ5a8ra6QsDogRENtJLAp40AE"
}
```

Export straight to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS from the Actor's dataset — no extra transformation step needed.

### Cost estimate

Pricing follows standard Apify compute-unit billing (no separate per-result fee). Because contact details come from a single lightweight request per location instead of a separate detail-page visit per listing, a typical run costs a fraction of what a two-pass scraper would — comfortably within the free plan's monthly credit for occasional use.

### FAQ

**Does this need a Google API key?**
No. It reads Google Maps' public search response directly — no API key, no Google Cloud billing account.

**Can I search any city or country, or just the US?**
Any city, address, or region worldwide. `locations` is free text.

**Why is `priceLevel` sometimes empty?**
Google doesn't expose a price indicator for every listing — that's a Google data gap, not a scraper limitation.

**How is the opportunity score calculated?**
A transparent, additive score: no website (+50), a listed phone number (+15), rating ≥ 4 (+15), and 20+ reviews (+20). Higher scores mean a contactable, legitimate business that's missing a website — the strongest signal for agency outreach.

**Will running this get my IP blocked?**
The Actor runs through Apify's infrastructure, not your own IP.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerm` (type: `string`):

The Google Maps search query, e.g. 'restaurants', 'plumbers', 'dentists', 'coffee shops'. Works for any category, not just restaurants.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Any city, town, address, or region worldwide, e.g. 'Austin, TX' or 'Manchester, UK'. One search is run per location and results are merged.

## `maxPlacesPerLocation` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of listings to collect per location (after filters are applied).

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).
