We’ll walk through the entire process, from identifying targets on Google Maps to enriching the data and organizing it neatly in a spreadsheet. Get ready to supercharge your outreach efforts! 🚀

🗺️ 1. Pinpointing Your Prospects on Google Maps

Think of Google Maps as a goldmine of local business data! 💰 Here’s how to leverage it:

  • Target Identification: Start by searching for businesses on Google Maps using relevant keywords (e.g., “plumber in Calgary”).
  • Understanding the Scope: Zoom out on the map to grasp the number of potential leads in your desired location.
  • Extraction Tool: Manually copying data would be tedious, so we’ll use Apify’s Google Maps Extractor. This tool automates the process, saving you time and effort. ⏰

🤖 2. Automating the Scraping Process with Apify

Apify acts as our trusty robot, tirelessly gathering information for us. Here’s how it works:

  • Apify Setup: Input your search terms (e.g., “plumber,” “flower shop,” “HVAC”) and location into Apify’s Google Maps Extractor. You can refine your search by postal code, county, or even specific coordinates.
  • Scraping Magic: Apify swiftly scours Google Maps, capturing valuable data points like business name, website, phone number, reviews, and more.

Now that we have a list of businesses, let’s find their email addresses!

  • Enter Anymail Finder: This powerful tool specializes in uncovering email addresses associated with websites.

  • Seamless Integration: Connect Apify’s output to Anymail Finder, which will automatically attempt to find email addresses for each website.

📊 4. Organizing Your Leads in Google Sheets

Let’s transform raw data into an actionable spreadsheet!

  • Creating Your Spreadsheet: Set up a new Google Sheet with clear headers like “Business Name,” “Website,” “Phone Number,” “Email Address,” and any other relevant fields.
  • Data Mapping: Connect the output from Anymail Finder to your Google Sheet, automatically populating the corresponding columns.
  • Email Splitting: If multiple emails are found for a single business, use a simple formula to split them into separate columns.
  • Data Cleaning: Quickly scan for any formatting inconsistencies and ensure all your data is accurate and well-organized.
