Lead generation - local search

Pull Google Maps business leads without building your own scraping stack.

This actor returns structured local business data - names, addresses, phones, websites, ratings, review counts, categories, Place IDs, and direct Maps links - from one or many search queries. It is built for agencies, B2B teams, and researchers who need usable local leads fast.

No API key required
Multi-query runs
Built-in deduplication

Why it converts

The value prop is simple: query in, clean lead records out.

Prospecting

Build geography-specific lists for outreach without paying for a separate Maps API and enrichment stack.

Competitive mapping

Measure category density, ratings, and review distribution by city, region, or niche.

CRM enrichment

Backfill missing websites, phone numbers, and category labels before routing records into campaigns.

What you get

  • Business name, full address, phone, website, rating, and review count.
  • Primary category plus Place ID and direct Maps URL.
  • Support for many queries in one run with automatic pagination.
  • Language control for local Google Maps locales.

Truth in positioning

  • This is a structured business data collector, not a CRM by itself.
  • The strength is fast collection and export, not warm contact scoring.
  • If your buyer needs outreach automation, route them from this page into the wider VHub stack after the data need is clear.

Sample input

A simple query set is enough to start.

Example run shape from the actor README:

{
  "searchQueries": ["electricians in Munich", "plumbers in Hamburg"],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 50,
  "language": "de"
}

Fields buyers care about

The output is useful because it is operational, not vague.

Contact layer

Name, address, phone, and website when available.

Quality layer

Rating and review count so the list can be prioritized before outreach.

Routing layer

Category, Place ID, Maps URL, and search query source for auditability.
