Local Business Leads Finder - Emails, Phones & Websites (OpenStreetMap)

Find local businesses by category and city and get a ready-to-use contact list: business name, address, phone, website, company email, social profiles, opening hours and map coordinates.

Pick a category (dentists, restaurants, lawyers, plumbers, hotels, gyms and 30+ more), add one or more cities, and the actor:

1. loads every matching business from OpenStreetMap, the open map database used by thousands of apps,
2. visits each business website (home page plus contact and about pages) to find public company emails such as info@ and office@, including Cloudflare-protected and "name [at] domain [dot] com" addresses,
3. checks that each email domain has a mail server (MX record), so you can skip dead addresses before you send.

No login, no API keys, no Google Maps limits. $2.00 per 1000 businesses, and with "Only businesses with an email" turned on you pay only for leads that have an email.

Why this actor

• Honest data, not a "B2B database" promise. Many lead finders promise millions of decision-maker contacts and then return empty or outdated rows. This actor returns exactly what is publicly listed for each business, with the source of every email (openstreetmap or website).
• Company emails only by default. Generic business addresses (info@, office@, sales@, reception@) are returned; addresses that look like a person's name are skipped unless you turn them on. This keeps your list cleaner and closer to GDPR-friendly B2B outreach.
• MX-checked emails. emailMxValid tells you whether the email domain can receive mail.
• Works worldwide and stays stable. OpenStreetMap is open data with no anti-bot walls, and the actor switches between several public OpenStreetMap servers automatically when one is busy.
• Pay only for what you keep. Turn on onlyWithEmail and businesses without an email are skipped and not charged.
• Only new businesses mode. Schedule it daily or weekly with "Only new businesses" on and you get (and pay for) only businesses that appeared since the last run. Perfect for a steady stream of fresh leads.
• 38 ready categories plus any OpenStreetMap tag (shop=bicycle, craft=brewery, office=consulting).

Use cases

• Cold email and outreach lists for agencies, SaaS and B2B services selling to local businesses
• Local SEO and web design prospecting: find businesses with outdated websites or no website at all (websiteStatus: "no website")
• Market research: count and map competitors in a city or region
• Sales territory planning with coordinates and Google Maps links
• Enriching CRMs with phones, websites and social profiles

Good to know

• Coverage depends on OpenStreetMap. Big cities in Europe and North America are mapped very well; small towns may have fewer businesses than Google Maps. Combine several nearby locations for more results.
• Not every business publishes an email. Typically 30-60% of businesses that have a website show a public email. Phones and websites come straight from OpenStreetMap.
• No decision-maker names. This actor finds public company contacts, not personal data of employees.
• Websites that are down or block visitors are reported in websiteStatus and the business is still saved with its OpenStreetMap data.

FAQ

Is this a Google Maps scraper? No. It uses OpenStreetMap, which is open data and has no scraping limits. Results are usually a bit smaller than Google Maps, but runs are stable, cheap and include websites and emails.

Which categories are supported? 38 built-in categories (restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, dentists, doctors, pharmacies, vets, lawyers, accountants, real estate, insurance, IT companies, marketing agencies, architects, travel agencies, hairdressers, beauty salons, gyms, car repair, car dealers, plumbers, electricians, builders, florists, bakeries, supermarkets, clothing, furniture, hardware, electronics, opticians, photographers, schools, kindergartens, coworking, event venues, pet shops) plus any OpenStreetMap tag.

How do I get fresh leads every week? Turn on onlyNewBusinesses and create a schedule in Apify (Schedules, for example every Monday). Each run returns only businesses that were not in earlier runs with the same categories and locations, so you never pay twice for the same lead.

Can I search a whole country? Yes, but large areas take longer. For best results use regions or cities.
