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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Local Lead Finder PRO β€” Businesses Without Websites ![Local Lead Finder PRO - Businesses Without Websites](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/ZAgz8gDPxu0N1ULLe/records/local-lead-finder-banner.png) Find local businesses with **missing or dead websites** directly from Google Maps. Unlike other scrapers that use YellowPages (which often yields outdated or thin data), this tool pulls live data straight from **Google Maps**. It then actively checks every business to verify if their website is missing, if the domain is dead/broken, or if they are just using a Facebook page. --- ### 🎯 Why This Tool Exists Web design and SEO agencies need "on-fire" leads. The absolute best lead for a web design agency is a local business that has **hundreds of 5-star Google Reviews**, but **no website** to capture that traffic. This Actor automates the entire prospecting process: 1. **Scrapes Google Maps:** Pulls every business matching your query (e.g., "Plumbers in Dallas"). 2. **Audits the Website:** Actively checks if the website link is missing, broken (404/DNS error), or just a generic social media page. 3. **Generates a Lead Score (0-100):** Calculates a heat score based on the number of reviews and their rating. High reviews + no website = 100 Score. 4. **Writes the Outreach Pitch:** Automatically generates a personalized AI cold email pitch you can send to the owner. --- ### πŸ’° How to Make Money With This This tool is a complete **Business in a Box** for anyone selling Web Design, SEO, or Marketing services. #### 1. Sell Web Design to "Hot" Leads Search for `Roofers in Texas`. The bot will return only the roofers who do not have a website. You can immediately call the phone number provided and say: *"Hey, I saw you have 150 5-star reviews on Google Maps, but your website link is completely broken. You're losing dozens of jobs a week. Let me fix it."* #### 2. The Ultimate Web Design Funnel (Enriching the Data) Stop manually searching for leads. Use our automated 3-step funnel: 1. **Find Targets:** Run our [Google Maps Lead Generator](https://apify.com/intelscrape/google-maps-lead-generator) to export a massive CSV of thousands of businesses in any city. 2. **Filter & Audit:** Upload that exact CSV into this [**No Website Lead Finder**](https://apify.com/intelscrape/no-website-lead-finder) using the new `Bulk CSV Upload` feature. We will instantly filter out everyone who already has a website. 3. **Bypass the Gatekeeper:** Take the resulting list of "No Website" leads and upload it to our [Skip Trace PRO](https://apify.com/intelscrape/skip-trace-pro) bot. It will reverse search the business name and address to find the **owner's personal cell phone number and direct email**. *You now have a list of verified web design leads, complete with the founder's direct contact info. Pitch your $3,000+ custom website redesign directly to the decision maker!* #### 3. Sell the Data Lead generation agencies charge a premium for verified "No Website" leads. You can run this scraper for hundreds of cities and niches, compile a massive CSV of businesses without websites, and sell that list on Fiverr, Upwork, or directly to marketing agencies. --- ### πŸš€ Connect Your Own AI Marketing Agent (MCP) Did you know you can hook this bot up to your own AI (like Claude Desktop or Cursor)? IntelScrape provides a master **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server that gives your AI direct control over all of our scrapers. You can literally just talk to your AI and say: *"Find me 50 plumbers in Miami without a website, and draft a cold email to each of them."* #### ⚑ The All-In-One Setup & Agency Prompt (Copy & Paste) Copy and paste this exact prompt into your AI (Cursor, Windsurf, or Cline) to automatically install our master MCP server: > **"Install the `intelscrape/b2b-lead-generation-mcp` MCP server into my Claude Desktop config using Apify CLI. Ask me for my API Token to put in the env."** **Mega-Prompt (Setup + Run as Marketing Agency):** > **"I want you to install the Skip Trace PRO MCP Server so you can extract business data for me. First, guide me step-by-step on where to find my Apify API Token inside the Apify Console. Once I provide you with my token, automatically locate my local MCP configuration file (like `claude_desktop_config.json`) and configure the new server named `intelscrape-b2b`. The command is `npx` and the args are `[\"-y\", \"apify-cli\", \"run\", \"intelscrape/b2b-lead-generation-mcp\"]`. Inject my token into the `env` object under `APIFY_TOKEN`. Once the installation is complete and I have restarted you, you will act as my elite autonomous marketing agency. You must ask me what specific industry and city I want to target (e.g., 'Roofers in Dallas'). Once I reply, autonomously use the `run_google_maps_scraper` tool to find 10 businesses, then use the `run_contact_info_scraper` tool to extract their emails, and finally draft highly personalized cold outreach emails offering my web design services."** --- ### πŸ–ΌοΈ What The Data Looks Like For every business without a website, you get a clean, sales-ready record: - **Business Name:** "Smith Family Plumbing" - **Phone:** (555) 123-4567 - **Website Status:** `MISSING` or `DEAD_LINK (404)` or `SOCIAL_PAGE_ONLY` - **Lead Score:** `95` (Based on 300 reviews) - **AI Outreach Pitch:** *"Hi there, I saw you have 300 reviews and a solid 4.8 star rating on Google Maps, which is great! However, I noticed you don't have a website listed..."* - **Address, City, State, ZIP** - **Google Maps URL** --- ### ⚑ Better Than the Competition You may have seen other "Local Lead Finder" bots that scrape YellowPages. **Google Maps is infinitely better.** YellowPages is outdated and lacks the massive volume of new businesses found on Google Maps. We guarantee you will find more leads, better leads, and higher intent businesses by using this Google Maps-powered engine. --- ### 🌟 Featured IntelScrape Bots Looking for other ways to generate leads?
