Electrician Lead Scraper — Verified Emails, License Numbers & Service Areas

Scrape electrician and electrical contractor contacts from Google Maps with verified emails, phone numbers, license numbers, service areas, and social media links. Built for solar companies, EV charging installers, electrical supply distributors, home warranty providers, and trade SaaS sales teams who need CRM-ready electrician lead lists.

The actor searches Google Maps by specialty and location, then crawls each electrician's website to extract contact emails, contractor license numbers, service area coverage, and social profiles. Emails are verified via DNS MX record lookup to flag deliverable inboxes. Export to HubSpot, Salesforce, or CSV in a single run.

Export scraped data, run the scraper via API, schedule and monitor runs, or integrate with other tools.

• Trade SaaS sales — Generate electrician lead lists by specialty (residential, commercial, industrial, low voltage) for dispatch software, invoicing, and CRM tools

FAQ

Why are some emails null?

Not all electrician websites list email addresses publicly. The actor crawls contact, about, services, and service-area pages. If no email is found, the field is null and you still get the phone, address, license number, and social links.

How does email verification work?

The actor performs DNS MX record lookup on each email's domain to confirm a mail server exists. Emails from domains with valid MX records are marked deliverable. This reduces bounce rates compared to unverified email lists.

How accurate are license numbers?

The actor uses pattern matching to detect common contractor license formats (TECL, EC, state license numbers) from website text. Accuracy depends on how the electrician displays their license on their site. Always verify license numbers against your state's licensing board before relying on them for compliance.

What if Google Maps blocks the request?

The actor uses Apify's residential proxy pool by default. If you experience blocks, you can provide a custom proxy URL via the proxyUrl parameter using services like IPRoyal, Smartproxy, or Bright Data.

Can I search multiple cities at once?

Yes. Use the locations array parameter with multiple cities. The actor searches each location and combines results with deduplication enabled by default.

What CRM formats are supported?

full returns all fields. hubspot formats output for HubSpot CSV import. salesforce formats for Salesforce data import. All formats are exportable as CSV, JSON, or Excel from Apify's dataset.

Integration Ideas

• HubSpot: Set outputFormat: "hubspot", export dataset as CSV, import directly into HubSpot Contacts
• Salesforce: Set outputFormat: "salesforce", export as CSV and use Data Import Wizard
• Mailchimp: Filter leads where email_verified === true, export emails for outreach campaigns
• Apollo/Outreach: Use the name and email fields for personalized cold email sequences
• Facebook Ads: Use the social_links.facebook field to build Custom Audiences for retargeting

Changelog

• v1.0 — Initial release with Google Maps search, email enrichment, DNS verification, license number extraction, service area extraction, specialty detection, social link extraction, multi-location batch mode, and HubSpot/Salesforce export formats
