# Check which local businesses have broken websites

**Use case:** 

Search Google Maps for a trade in a city, then actually fetch every website those businesses list — instead of trusting the link. Returns the ones that are parked, expired, redirected off-domain, serving spam, or simply dead, with the reason each was flagged and the page it was checked on. Useful for web agencies pitching a rebuild, and for cleaning a lead list before you email it.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/northvane/google-maps-email-extractor-website-checker.md

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`).
