Ultimate Google Maps B2B Lead Extractor & Scorer

Stop paying for dead leads, empty rows, and corporate franchises. This Actor is a hybrid Playwright/Cheerio pipeline built specifically for B2B sales teams, marketing agencies, and local SEO professionals. It extracts localized Google Maps data, bypasses GDPR cookie walls, visits every target business website to hunt down contact info, and automatically grades each lead so your sales team knows exactly who to call first.

Core Premium Features

• Algorithmic Lead Scoring (0-100): Stop manually sorting spreadsheets. The scraper automatically calculates a leadScore for every business based on its digital footprint (e.g., +30 points for missing a website, +15 for a valid email, -40 for a dead lead). Sort by highest score and start pitching immediately.
• Anti-Franchise Filter: Flip the excludeChains toggle to automatically skip global corporate chains (like Starbucks, Subway, or Marriott). Ensure your sales team is only spending time pitching independent, local business owners without corporate gatekeepers.
• Hybrid Speed Architecture: Uses Playwright's headless browser strictly to navigate Google Maps and bypass complex GDPR walls, while offloading the heavy website email extraction to a lightning-fast HTTP crawler.
• Bulletproof Error Handling: Local business websites are notorious for broken SSL certificates, dead links, and basic Cloudflare blocks. This Actor catches 403s and 502s gracefully—if a website firewall blocks the email extraction, the scraper securely saves the core Maps data (hours, photos, rating, phone number) instead of crashing.

Compute & Resource Requirements

• Memory Allocation: Set your Actor memory to at least 4 GB RAM. Playwright requires sufficient memory to manage headless browser tabs, especially when rotating through complex proxy sessions.
• Proxy Usage: Apify Automatic Residential Proxies are highly recommended to prevent Google Maps from returning empty results or blocking the container.
