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 ## No Website Business Finder Find local businesses without websites or with weak online presence — built for web design, SEO, local marketing, and lead generation teams. This Actor searches Google Maps for a business category in a location, checks whether each business has a website, optionally performs basic website health checks, scores the opportunity, and exports leads that are more likely to need website, local SEO, online booking, or web presence services. ### Why use this Actor? Most local business datasets are just raw rows. This Actor is designed to surface **buying signals**: - Businesses with no website listed on Google Maps - Businesses with high review volume but weak online presence - Websites that may be unreachable or missing HTTPS - Websites without obvious contact or booking cues - Leads prioritized with an `opportunityScore` and `leadPriority` ### Who is this for? - Web design agencies - SEO consultants - Local marketing agencies - Lead generation teams - Freelancers selling websites to local businesses - Appointment booking / automation providers ### Input ```json { "location": "Austin, TX", "businessCategory": "mobile notary", "maxResults": 25, "includeWeakWebsites": true, "checkWebsiteHealth": true, "minOpportunityScore": 40, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` #### Input fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `location` | City, region, or local market to search. Example: `Austin, TX` | | `businessCategory` | Business type. Example: `mobile notary`, `plumber`, `med spa`, `dog groomer` | | `maxResults` | Maximum Google Maps listings to analyze | | `includeWeakWebsites` | Include businesses that have a website but show weak signals | | `checkWebsiteHealth` | Visit websites to check reachability, HTTPS, contact cues, and booking cues | | `minOpportunityScore` | Only export leads at or above this score. Use `0` to export everything | | `proxyConfiguration` | Optional Apify proxy configuration | ### Output Each dataset item contains fields like: ```json { "searchQuery": "mobile notary in Austin, TX", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-07T02:34:55.947Z", "businessName": "Example Mobile Notary", "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...", "website": null, "websiteDomain": null, "phone": "+1 555-555-5555", "address": "Austin, TX", "rating": 5, "reviewCount": 128, "websiteMissing": true, "websiteHealth": null, "opportunityScore": 75, "leadPriority": "B", "opportunityReasons": [ "No website listed on Google Maps", "Has 128 Google reviews, indicating real demand", "Phone number is available for outreach" ], "suggestedPitch": "Offer a simple, mobile-friendly website with local SEO basics." } ``` ### Opportunity scoring The score is designed for outreach prioritization, not as a perfect business valuation. | Signal | Impact | |---|---:| | No website listed | High | | Listed website unreachable | High | | No HTTPS | Medium | | No contact cues | Medium | | No booking / appointment cues | Medium | | 50+ Google reviews | Medium | | Rating under 4.2 with review volume | Medium | | Phone available | Low | Lead priority mapping: | Score | Priority | |---:|---| | 80–100 | A | | 60–79 | B | | 40–59 | C | | 0–39 | D | ### Example use cases #### Web design outreach Find local service businesses with no listed website and enough review volume to indicate active demand. #### Local SEO prospecting Find businesses with weak web presence but visible Google Maps activity. #### Booking / appointment automation Find clinics, salons, notaries, mechanics, and other appointment-driven services without obvious booking cues. ### Recommended first searches Small local service categories often work best for this Actor: - `mobile notary` in `Austin, TX` - `mobile mechanic` in `Phoenix, AZ` - `house cleaning` in `Dallas, TX` - `lawn care` in `Tampa, FL` - `handyman` in `Miami, FL` - `dog groomer` in `Denver, CO` - `tax preparer` in `Atlanta, GA` - `towing service` in `Orlando, FL` High-value verticals such as dentists, med spas, roofers, chiropractors, and law firms can also be tested, but many of them already have websites. ### Notes and limitations - Google Maps layout and anti-automation behavior can change. - Use lower `maxResults` for small tests and higher values only after validating a category/location. - Google may mask phone digits in some environments. - Website health checks currently inspect the homepage only. - The Actor does not send emails, make calls, or contact leads automatically. - Make sure your use complies with applicable laws, privacy rules, and platform terms. ### Practical tip Start with `maxResults: 10–25` and `minOpportunityScore: 40`. Once you find categories that produce good leads, scale up gradually. # Actor input Schema ## `location` (type: `string`): City, state, country, or local area to search in. ## `businessCategory` (type: `string`): Type of business to find. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of Google Maps listings to analyze. ## `includeWeakWebsites` (type: `boolean`): If true, include businesses that have a website but show weak website signals such as no HTTPS, unreachable site, or missing contact/booking cues. ## `checkWebsiteHealth` (type: `boolean`): Visit listed websites to check reachability, HTTPS, title, contact cues, and booking cues. ## `minOpportunityScore` (type: `integer`): Only output leads with this score or higher. Use 0 to export everything. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional Apify proxy configuration for Google Maps and website checks. ## Actor input object example ```json { "location": "Austin, TX", "businessCategory": "dentist", "maxResults": 50, "includeWeakWebsites": true, "checkWebsiteHealth": true, "minOpportunityScore": 40, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
