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 Business Lead Auditor Apify Actor for turning local business searches into sales-ready agency leads. It can use Google Maps data via the Apify Google Maps Scraper Actor, OpenStreetMap as a free fallback, or manually supplied leads. Each business is enriched with website/contact/SEO checks, Google rating/review signals, an opportunity score, a recommended offer, and a short cold email opener. ### Best use case Marketing agencies, SEO consultants, web design agencies, reputation management teams, and outbound sales teams that need prioritized local prospects such as: - dentists with weak websites or low review counts - lawyers with poor local SEO signals - plumbers/roofers missing public contact information - salons/spas with unclaimed or under-optimized Google Business Profiles ### Input ```json { "queries": [ { "businessType": "dentist", "location": "Austin, Texas" } ], "dataSource": "googleMaps", "googleMapsActorId": "compass/crawler-google-places", "googleMapsLanguage": "en", "googleMapsCountryCode": "us", "skipClosedPlaces": true, "maxBusinessesPerQuery": 50, "auditWebsites": true, "minLeadScore": 0, "includeColdEmailOpening": true } ```` Supported `dataSource` values: - `googleMaps` - use the upstream Google Maps Actor only - `googleMapsThenOsm` - use Google Maps, then fill missing capacity with OpenStreetMap results - `openStreetMap` - use only free public OpenStreetMap data - `manualOnly` - skip search and only audit/scoring supplied businesses You can also pass `manualBusinesses` if you already have Google Maps/CSV leads: ```json { "dataSource": "manualOnly", "manualBusinesses": [ { "businessName": "Example Dental Clinic", "websiteUrl": "https://example.com", "phone": "+1 555 0100", "address": "Austin, Texas", "category": "dentist", "googleRating": 4.1, "reviewCount": 12 } ], "auditWebsites": true } ``` ### Output fields Each dataset item includes: - `businessName`, `category`, `phone`, `email`, `websiteUrl`, `address` - `googleRating`, `reviewCount`, `googlePlaceId`, `googleMapsUrl` - `leadScore` from 0 to 100, where higher means a stronger sales opportunity - `leadPriority`: `high`, `medium`, or `low` - `opportunitySignals` - `recommendedOffer` - `salesAngle` - `coldEmailOpening` - `websiteAudit`: reachable status, load time, title/meta/H1 checks, emails, social profiles, detected technologies, and issues - `source` and `sourceUrl` A `SUMMARY` object is saved in the default key-value store with total leads, source counts, priority distribution, average score, and top opportunities. ### Local development ```bash npm install npm run test:sample ``` The sample uses `openStreetMap` so it can run locally without calling the paid upstream Google Maps Actor. To test Google Maps locally, set `APIFY_TOKEN` and use an input with `dataSource: "googleMaps"`: ```bash npx apify-cli run --input-file input.google-maps-test.json ``` ### Apify deployment ```bash npm install -g apify-cli apify login apify push ``` For automated deployment, set `APIFY_TOKEN` and run: ```bash npx apify-cli push --token "$APIFY_TOKEN" ``` ### Suggested monetization Use Pay Per Event pricing: - Event name: `enriched-business-lead` - Starting price: `$0.05` per enriched lead - Later test: `$0.10` per lead for higher-value niches such as dentist, lawyer, roofer, HVAC, med spa - Minimum run: `$1` to `$3` Positioning: do not sell it as a generic scraper. Sell it as a local sales opportunity finder that converts Google Maps or business lists into prioritized outreach targets. # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): Business categories and locations to search. Example: dentists in Austin. ## `dataSource` (type: `string`): Choose where business listings come from. Google Maps uses the Apify Google Maps Scraper Actor, then this Actor enriches and scores the leads. ## `googleMapsActorId` (type: `string`): Apify Actor ID used as the upstream Google Maps source. Default is compass/crawler-google-places. ## `googleMapsLanguage` (type: `string`): Language code used by the upstream Google Maps Actor. ## `googleMapsCountryCode` (type: `string`): Optional country code for Google Maps results, such as us, gb, ca, au. ## `skipClosedPlaces` (type: `boolean`): Exclude permanently or temporarily closed Google Maps places when supported by the upstream Actor. ## `manualBusinesses` (type: `array`): Optional list of businesses to audit directly, useful if you already have Google Maps/CSV leads. ## `maxBusinessesPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Maximum businesses to return per query. ## `auditWebsites` (type: `boolean`): Fetch each business website and extract SEO/contact/sales signals. ## `minLeadScore` (type: `integer`): Only output leads with this score or higher. Higher score means stronger sales opportunity. ## `includeColdEmailOpening` (type: `boolean`): Generate a short personalized outreach opener for each lead. ## Actor input object example ```json { "queries": [ { "businessType": "dentist", "location": "Austin, Texas" } ], "dataSource": "googleMaps", "googleMapsActorId": "compass/crawler-google-places", "googleMapsLanguage": "en", "googleMapsCountryCode": "us", "skipClosedPlaces": true, "maxBusinessesPerQuery": 50, "auditWebsites": true, "minLeadScore": 0, "includeColdEmailOpening": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset items containing enriched local business leads, website audits, lead scores, and sales recommendations. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "queries": [ { "businessType": "dentist", "location": "Austin, Texas" } ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("meilimiao/local-business-lead-auditor").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
