Website Contact Extractor - Verified Outreach-Ready Emails, Not Raw Dumps

Turn a list of company domains into verified, outreach-ready contacts - not a junk email dump.

Most website email scrapers hand you a pile of noreply@, webmaster@, and unverifiable addresses mixed in with the good ones. This Actor extracts the contacts, then does the work the others skip: it classifies each email (personal vs role vs junk), MX-checks that the domain actually accepts mail, keeps only on-domain addresses, and dedupes. You get a clean, prioritized list you can email today.

✅ What you get / ❌ what this isn't

✅ This Actor gives you	❌ This Actor is not
MX-verified, on-domain, deduped emails	Not a raw dump of noreply@ and junk
Personal contacts ranked above role inboxes	Not unverified guesses you can't trust
An outreachReady flag per email	Not private or login-gated data
Socials + phone numbers per site	Not a generic crawler with no enrichment

🔎 Why use this Actor

• Verified, not guessed. Every email domain is MX-checked, so dead domains are flagged before you waste a send.
• Personal first. Real people (jane@) rank above role inboxes (info@, sales@), which beat junk (noreply@) - so the best contact is row one.
• Outreach-ready flag. One boolean tells you which emails are safe to use: not junk, on the company's own domain, and deliverable.
• Socials and phones too. LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and phone numbers per site.
• One summary row per domain. Counts, primary email, and a status (ok / no_contacts / unreachable) for a fast read.
• Built to pair with lead lists. Feed it the website column from a Google Maps, directory, or CRM export.

👥 Who it's for

Sales, growth, and agency teams building cold-outreach lists. Common jobs:

• Enrich a Google Maps or directory scrape (you have websites, you need emails).
• Clean a contact list down to deliverable, non-junk addresses before a cold campaign.
• Find a company's socials and phone alongside its email in one pass.
• Build outreach lists where every row is already verified and prioritized.

Example tasks

• Find emails from company websites
• Enrich Google Maps leads with emails
• Extract social profiles from websites

⚙️ How to extract emails from websites

1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. Paste your domains (company domains or full URLs).
3. Set pagesPerSite (homepage, /contact, /about - more pages, higher yield and cost).
4. Keep verifyMx on so dead domains are flagged.
5. Click Start.
6. Open the Outreach-ready contacts view, or download CSV/JSON/Excel or pull from the API.

📥 Input

{
  "domains": ["basecamp.com", "apify.com"],
  "pagesPerSite": 3,
  "verifyMx": true,
  "maxDomains": 100
}

• domains - company domains or URLs (example.com or https://example.com).
• pagesPerSite - how many common pages to check per site. More pages = higher yield, higher cost.
• verifyMx - MX-verify email domains for deliverability (recommended).
• maxDomains - safety cap so a default run stays cheap.

📤 Output

Two row types in one dataset, with ready-made views.

Outreach-ready contacts (default view):

domain	email	emailType	mxValid	outreachReady	sourceUrl
basecamp.com	jason@basecamp.com	personal	true	true	https://basecamp.com/about
apify.com	hello@apify.com	role	true	true	https://apify.com/contact

Per-domain summary:

domain	status	primaryEmail	outreachReadyEmails	emailsFound	socialsFound
apify.com	ok	hello@apify.com	1	1	12
ycombinator.com	no_contacts	(null)	0	0	7

💵 How much does it cost?

You pay per result plus Apify platform usage. Cost scales with the number of domains and pagesPerSite (more pages crawled per site = higher yield and higher cost). MX verification is cheap. Keep pagesPerSite at 2-3 for the best yield-to-cost ratio.

🔁 Run it on the Apify platform

Schedule recurring enrichment, call it from the API, export to CSV/JSON/Excel, or pipe results into Make, Zapier, webhooks, or your CRM.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• Only public website data is read. No login, no private data.
• A few sites block automated requests or hide emails behind forms; those return unreachable or no_contacts rather than failing the run.
• MX verification confirms the domain accepts mail, not that a specific inbox exists.

❓ FAQ

Does it verify emails? It MX-checks each email's domain for deliverability and flags dead domains. It does not send test mail to individual inboxes.

Can I enrich a lead list? Yes - feed it the website column from any Google Maps, directory, or CRM export.

Does it scrape private data? No. It reads only public website pages.
