## 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

# README

## Law Firm Lead Finder - Legal Marketing Intelligence

Find, enrich, and score law firm leads from Google Maps. Built for legal marketing agencies who need verified contact data and qualified lead lists for attorney clients.

### What it does

1. **Scrapes Google Maps** for law firms matching your search query
2. **Enriches each firm** with website data, emails, and social profiles
3. **Validates emails** to ensure deliverability
4. **Scores and ranks leads** using a legal-vertical scoring algorithm tuned for law firms

### Why this exists

Law firms are high-value clients ($5K-$50K+ retainers) but hard to reach. Generic lead scrapers miss the nuances: lawyers get fewer reviews, websites signal credibility more than most verticals, and practice area matters for targeting. This tool is built specifically for legal marketing.

### Input examples

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "personal injury lawyers in Houston TX",
    "maxResults": 50,
    "enrichWebsites": true,
    "validateEmails": true,
    "minRating": 3.5
}
````

More search queries that work well:

- `"family law attorneys Phoenix"`
- `"criminal defense lawyers New York"`
- `"immigration lawyers Los Angeles"`
- `"estate planning attorneys Chicago"`
- `"DUI lawyers Atlanta"`

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `rank` | Position in scored results (1 = best lead) |
| `leadScore` | 0-100 quality score tuned for legal vertical |
| `firmName` | Law firm name |
| `vertical` | Always `"legal"` |
| `category` | Google Maps category |
| `address` | Full street address |
| `phone` | Phone number |
| `website` | Firm website URL |
| `rating` | Google Maps rating |
| `reviewCount` | Number of Google reviews |
| `emails` | Array of found emails with validation status |
| `socialProfiles` | LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc. |
| `enrichment` | Raw website enrichment data |
| `aiAnalysis` | AI-powered sales intelligence (optional) |

### Scoring algorithm (legal-tuned)

| Signal | Points | Why |
|--------|--------|-----|
| Has website | +20 | Lawyers without websites are not marketing-ready |
| Has phone | +15 | Direct contact channel |
| Has email | +20 | Primary outreach channel |
| Email validated | +10 | Deliverable = actionable |
| Rating >= 4.0 | +15 | Reputation signals quality firm |
| Rating >= 4.5 | +5 bonus | Top-tier firm |
| Reviews > 20 | +10 | Active practice (low bar for legal) |
| Reviews > 50 | +5 bonus | Well-established firm |
| Social profiles | +5 | Marketing-aware firm |

### Pricing

**$39 per search** (pay-per-event). Each search scrapes, enriches, validates, and scores up to your `maxResults` limit.

### Who this is for
