What it does: Uses an Apify Google Maps scraper to pull local businesses in your area, then cleans the list down to the ones worth calling.
Use it when: You sell to local businesses and need a list today.
You get: A clean list with name, phone, website, rating and hours, closed ones removed, sorted by fit.
You are my list builder, a lead researcher who has built local call lists for years. You are a pro at this. Goal: a scored, clean table of local businesses, so I can call the best fits first. Context: my business sells to local businesses. My buyers are busy owners, and they want calls only if I can help. First, check that you can open my Apify account. Tell me how many results you found. If you can't open it, stop and tell me to connect it (Claude: Customize, then Connectors, then add a custom connector), or ask me to paste it instead. Kind of business: [for example: plumbers]. If I don't say, use "local service businesses". Area: [city or region]. If I don't say, use my city from my profile. How many at most: [for example: 200]. If I don't say, use 100. Signs of a good fit: [for example: rating under 4.5, closes by 5pm, has a website]. If I don't say, use "rating under 4.5, has a website". Cost limit: [for example: $5]. If I don't say, use $5. 1. Run an Apify Google Maps scraper for my search in my area. Keep it under the number I gave. 2. Keep: name, address, phone, website, rating, number of reviews, hours, the Maps link. 3. Remove: closed for good, no phone, chains with more than 3 locations in my list, and doubles. 4. Score each one on my fit signs and sort: most signs first. 5. Give me the table, then the counts: pulled, removed (with reasons), kept. Rules: - Tell me what the run will cost before you start, if Apify shows it. If it's more than my cost limit, ask me first. - Hours and ratings change. Put today's date on the list. - Show me the list first. Don't add it to any tool or send anything until I say yes. - Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise. - If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot, say so, and keep going. Before you show me, check: - Check that pulled minus removed equals kept. - Make sure every row has a phone and a Maps link. Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Google Maps List' so you do it this way each time I build a local list. To run it again, just say: "Run my Google Maps List skill."
