## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## AI Agency Lead Finder Actor 🎯

The **AI Agency Lead Finder** is a production-grade Apify Actor designed for digital marketing, web development, and SEO agencies. Unlike simple scrapers that return raw directories, this Actor acts as an **automated lead qualification engine**.

It extracts local business listings from Google Maps, performs technical audits on their websites, discovers social profiles and contact emails, and scores each prospect based on their likelihood to buy agency services.

***

### 🌟 Key Features

- **Google Maps 2-Pass Scraping**: Robust feed scrolling + direct URL navigation strategy preventing DOM re-querying breakdowns.
- **Technical Website Health Audit**: Inspects target websites for:
  - HTTPS / SSL security
  - Response latency (page speed)
  - Mobile responsiveness (`viewport` meta tag detection)
  - Online booking & scheduling systems (e.g., Calendly, Zocdoc, Acuity)
- **Contact & Social Profile Discovery**: Scrapes emails (via `mailto:` links & page text regex) and social profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X).
- **Rule-Based Prospect Qualification Engine**: Assigns a `leadScore` (0-100) and actionable sales pitch reasons tailored for B2B agency outreach.
- **High Concurrency**: Performs parallel HTTP website audits for maximum throughput.
