## 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

**Trustpilot Business Finder** builds **B2B lead lists from [Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com)**. Pick categories (Banks, Pet Stores, Solar, Software…) or search by keyword, choose a country, and get every matching business with its **email, phone, website, full address, TrustScore and review count**. Filter to exactly the leads you want: low-rated businesses, small businesses, claimed profiles only, or only those with an email.

### What does Trustpilot Business Finder do?

Trustpilot lists hundreds of thousands of businesses organised into categories, and many publish contact details on their profile. This Actor walks any category or keyword search and returns one clean row per business with:

- **Contact details**: website, email, phone, street address, city, ZIP code and country, where the business lists them.
- **Reputation**: TrustScore, star rating and number of reviews.
- **Classification**: primary category and all categories.

It can then filter the list by TrustScore range, review count, claimed status, or presence of email, phone or website, so you only pay for leads you can use.

On the Apify platform you also get API access, scheduling, integrations (Google Sheets, HubSpot via Zapier/Make, Slack, webhooks) and run monitoring.

### Why use Trustpilot for lead generation?

- **Reputation & review management agencies**: find businesses with **low TrustScores** that need help, with their contact details.
- **Customer support & CX tools**: target companies drowning in negative reviews.
- **SaaS & B2B sales**: build category-specific prospect lists (every US bank, every UK solar installer) with emails and phones.
- **Market research**: map every competitor in a category with its ratings and review volume.
- **Partnerships**: find top-rated businesses in a niche (4.5+ TrustScore, many reviews).

### How to find businesses on Trustpilot

1. Open the Actor and go to the **Input** tab.
2. Add **Categories** by name (`Bank`, `Pet Stores`, `Animals & Pets`) or link, and/or **Search keywords**.
3. Set the **Country** (e.g. `US`, `GB`, `DE`), or leave it empty for all countries.
4. Optionally add filters: TrustScore range, review count, claimed only, must have email / phone / website.
5. Click **Start**, then open the **Output** tab or export to CSV / Excel for your CRM.

### How many results will I get?

One row per business, up to **Max businesses per category / keyword** for each source. A business found by two sources appears once. Filtered-out businesses aren't returned or counted.

### Tips

- **Low-rated leads**: set **Maximum TrustScore** to `2.5` or `3.0` with **Must have email**. Low-rated businesses are usually listed further down a category, so these runs take longer: the Actor reads through the category until it finds enough matches.
- **Top performers**: choose **Minimum TrustScore** `4.5`, sort by **Most reviews**, and set a **Minimum reviews** value.
- **Small businesses**: set **Maximum reviews** (e.g. `100`).
- **Find category names**: open any Trustpilot category page. The name at the end of the link (e.g. `/categories/pet_stores`) works as input, and so does the display name (`Pet Stores`).

### FAQ

**Why do some businesses have no email or phone?** Businesses choose what to publish on Trustpilot. Use the **Must have** filters to get only contactable leads.

**Is this legal?** The Actor only collects publicly listed business information. You're responsible for following email-marketing and data-protection rules (e.g. CAN-SPAM, GDPR) when contacting leads.

**Need the reviews too?** Use a Trustpilot reviews scraper on the `domain` values from this Actor.

**Found a bug or need a custom feature?** Open an issue in the **Issues** tab. Custom solutions are available on request.
