Apify Usage Model

This actor is designed for the Apify marketplace as a compute-based solution.

• The actor itself is free to start.
• Users only pay Apify for the compute units used by each run.
• Apify handles marketplace billing and usage tracking.
• As the actor owner, you receive revenue share from Apify for those usage fees.

For users: You can test the actor with small sample inputs and only pay for the compute used during the run.

For you: Publish the actor as public on Apify, and let Apify handle traffic and billing.

Commercial Lead Delivery Model

This actor is the extraction engine. You can keep it public on Apify for discovery and testing, while selling finished lead delivery and support externally.

How it works

1. Publish this actor publicly on Apify with compute-based access.
2. Let users run small tests on Apify to validate the actor.
3. Offer paid delivery packages for finished lead datasets, enrichment, cleanup, and priority support.
4. Earn from both:
   • Apify revenue share on compute usage
   • your external service fees for lead processing and delivery

You can charge separately for:

• Data delivery
• Enrichment
• Cleanup
• Priority support

Example service packages

Package	What customers get	Suggested price
Starter	1,000 raw leads export (JSON/CSV)	$10
Standard	5,000 leads + cleanup + optional enrichment	$40
Premium	10,000 leads + email/phone enrichment + support	$90

Contact for paid delivery: martinjozaws@gmail.com

Why this is strong value

• Apify handles the execution, traffic, and billing details.
• You only need to maintain the actor and deliver the datasets.
• Customers pay for real results and support, not just compute.
• Your profit becomes Apify share plus your service markup.

Tip: Start with a low-priced test package so new customers can validate the actor quickly.

💰 Pricing & Costs

Compute Units (CUs)

• Base scraping: ~0.5-1 CU per location search
• With enrichment: +0.3-0.5 CU per business
• Typical cost: $0.30-$0.70 per 100 leads

Example Scenarios

Scenario	Queries	Locations	Limit	Estimated Cost	Leads
Small test	2	1	20	$0.50	40
Medium campaign	5	3	50	$5-10	750
Large export	10	5	100	$20-30	5,000

Pro tip: Use without enrichment first to validate the searches, then enable enrichment for final delivery.

Google Maps data is live. Each run fetches current information, so results may vary slightly between runs.

Rate Limits

• No inherent rate limits from our side
• Google may throttle if you scrape too fast
• The actor implements smart delays to avoid blocks

📦 Export Options

In your Apify account, export results as:

🐛 Troubleshooting

"No results found"

• Verify the location name (use full city, state, country)
• Try different search terms
• Check if Google Maps operates in that region

"Page loaded but no data extracted"

• This is rare but can happen with layout changes
• Contact support with the specific search term

High cost?

• Reduce defaultLimit to test first
• Disable enrichCompanyContacts initially
• Combine multiple locations into fewer queries
