GoodFirms IT Agencies Lead Generator

Generate high-quality B2B leads from GoodFirms.co.

This Actor collects agencies from a GoodFirms category (e.g. Web Development), opens each company profile, extracts business details, and extracts email(s) from the company profile JSON-LD (when available).

What you get

For each company found, the Actor outputs a structured lead record with:

• Company name
• Website
• Email(s) (may be empty if not present in the profile JSON-LD)
• Phone
• City / Country
• Services
• LinkedIn URL (when available)
• Description / Price range / Founded year (when available)
• Addresses (when available)
• Source URL (GoodFirms profile link)

Output is saved to the default Dataset.

Typical use cases

• Build lead lists for outbound sales and partnerships
• Enrich your CRM with agency/company data
• Quick market research for a specific service category

Input (configuration)

You configure the Actor via the Apify input form:

Parameter	Description
Start URLs	GoodFirms category page URL(s). For best results, use one category per run.
Max companies	Maximum number of company profiles to process.
Extract emails	If enabled, the Actor will extract email(s) from the company profile page JSON-LD (no external website crawling).
Required fields	Only output leads that have ALL selected fields filled. Leave empty to output all leads.

Required fields

Use this option to filter output and get only quality leads with the data you need:

Field	Description
email	Company email address
phone	Phone number
website	Company website URL
city	City location
country	Country location
linkedin_url	LinkedIn company page URL

Example: If you select ["email", "phone"], only leads with both email AND phone will be saved to the dataset.

Example INPUT

  ],

goodfirmsMaxRequestRetries	1
