Local Business Leads: emails, gaps, fit score and map

Tell it what you sell, pick a business type and a city. Get local businesses with the best contact email from each company's own website, what each business is missing online, how well it fits your offer, a ready pitch line, and an interactive map with a market report. No Google account, no API key, no cookies.

• 📧 Best business email per company, from its own website, with the mail server checked (fewer bounces)
• 🔍 What each business lacks, with proof: no online booking, not mobile friendly, outdated site, not secure, no chat or WhatsApp button, no contact form, no visitor tracking, weak Google description, no social links, no online shop
• 🎯 Fit score 0-100 for YOUR offer (website design, SEO, online booking, AI chatbot / AI receptionist, social media, paid ads, e-commerce, website care) with the reasons
• ✍️ A ready first line for your email or call, based on the business's biggest gap
• 🗺️ Interactive map + market report: every business on a map coloured by fit, the share of businesses in the area with each gap ("70% of clinics here have no online booking"), and your best-fit list
• 🏷️ Your brand on everything: your name, logo, colour and booking button on the map, report and audit pages
• 📄 A branded one-page website check for each business, ready to send to that business as a free audit (your lead magnet)
• 🎛️ Your filters: only high-fit businesses, or only those lacking what you sell (e.g. no online booking); filtered ones aren't charged
• 📍 Radius search around any address for field-sales territories, plus a visit route for your top 10 in Google Maps
• ✍️ Your own pitch line template with {name}, {city}, {gap}, {offer}
• 💵 Pay only for what you use: businesses without an email are free; analysis and map can be switched off

Example

Dentists and clinics in Austin, scored for an online booking seller:

Business	Fit	Email	Why
Powers Family Wellness Chiropractic	90	info@…	No booking widget or "book online" link on the site; no chat button
Canvas Dental	80	smile@…	No booking widget or "book online" link on the site
Dental Smiles Family and Cosmetic	80	info@…	No booking widget; no contact form found

Pitch line: "I couldn't find a way to book online on your website, so after-hours customers may book elsewhere."

Who it's for

Web designers, SEO and marketing agencies, AI-automation and chatbot sellers, booking-software resellers, social media managers, and anyone selling services to local businesses.

How to use it

1. Type a city or area and a country code (e.g. Austin, US).
2. Choose business types, and what you sell.
3. Set maximum businesses with email (the run stops there, so you control the cost).
4. Click Start. Download the leads (Excel, CSV, JSON) and open the map + report from the Output tab.

Optional: add your branding, turn on Branded audit page for each business, set a minimum fit score or only businesses lacking..., a radius, and your own pitch line with {name}, {city}, {gap}, {offer}.

Already have company websites? Paste them into Or: list of websites to get emails, gaps and fit for each.

Output fields

name, bestEmail, bestEmailType (generic / personal), emailDomainAcceptsMail, allEmails, website, websiteOk, websiteTitle, websiteDescription, phone, address, postcode, city, country, category, latitude, longitude, openingHours, osmUrl, and with analysis: fitScore, fitLabel, fitReasons, pitchLine, gaps, gapDetails (each with its evidence), socialLinks, websiteSignals (HTTPS, mobile, copyright year, booking, chat, contact form, analytics, ad pixel, online shop, CMS), and prospectReportUrl (branded audit page) when reports are on.

Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription. Businesses without an email are free.

Event	Price
Contact email found (business returned with an email)	$0.003
Opportunity analysis (gaps, fit score, pitch line), if on	$0.003
Branded audit page per business, if on	$0.50
Map and market report, once per run, if on	$0.80

Examples:

• Default run (10 businesses, analysis + map): 10 × $0.006 + $0.80 = about $0.86
• 100 businesses with analysis + map: about $1.40; adding audit pages for your top 20: + $10.00

Runs are paid from your Apify balance; the free plan's $5 monthly credit covers a few default runs. Use Maximum cost per run in the run options to set a hard cap.

Honest limits

• OpenStreetMap doesn't list every business; big cities give far more results than small towns.
• Gaps are detected from each website's page code. Features loaded later by scripts (some chat widgets, some forms) can be missed, so every gap shows its evidence: check before you pitch.

Good use

Use the results for relevant business-to-business outreach: say who you are, include a real postal address and an easy opt-out, and stop emailing anyone who asks. In some countries (for example Germany and Austria) cold business email needs prior consent; the Generic addresses only switch helps, but check your local rules.

FAQ

Why fewer results than I asked for? The area has fewer mapped businesses with a website. Try a bigger area, more business types, or a nearby city.

Is the fit score a guarantee? No. It ranks who most likely needs your offer, based on public evidence, so you contact the best prospects first.

Can I use it from my own system? Yes: Apify API, Make, Zapier, n8n, Python and JavaScript, with the same input fields.
