lead-scraper

A Claude Code skill that pulls local-business leads from Google Maps and writes
a personalized outreach line for each one. Free, works with no API key.

Give it a business type and a place. Get back a clean CSV: name, address,
phone, website, rating, reviews, (optional) email, and Google Maps link.

"med spas in Scottsdale AZ"  ->  leads.csv  ->  personalized opener per lead

Quickest start (no terminal needed)

Open Claude Code, paste this link, and say:

Set this up as a skill and run it: https://github.com/Adam-s-Builder-Club/lead-scraper

Then just tell it what leads you want, e.g. “find dentists in Miami.” Claude
clones it, installs the engine, and runs the scrape for you. That’s it.

Install (Claude Code skill)

Copy this folder into your Claude Code skills directory:

git clone https://github.com/Adam-s-Builder-Club/lead-scraper.git
cp -R lead-scraper ~/.claude/skills/lead-scraper

Then in Claude Code just say: “find leads: dentists in Miami”.

Two engines

Default — no API key (gosom)

Uses the open-source gosom/google-maps-scraper.
Free, no accounts. One-time setup (needs Go):

cd ~/.claude/skills/lead-scraper
./install.sh
python3 scripts/leads.py --query "barber shops in Brooklyn NY"
# add --email to also pull emails from each website (slower)

Upgrade — Google Places API (more reliable, needs a free key)

Better for big pulls and long-term reliability. Free within Google’s monthly
credit. Setup (~5 min):

1. Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/ and create (or pick) a project.
2. Enable Places API (New): APIs & Services → Library → search “Places API
   (New)” → Enable.
3. Set up a billing account (required by Google; you stay within the free
   credit for normal use).
4. APIs & Services → Credentials → Create credentials → API key. Copy it.
5. Use it:

   export GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=your_key_here
   python3 scripts/leads.py --query "barber shops in Brooklyn NY" --max 60
   

The skill auto-uses Places when GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY is set, otherwise gosom.

Options

Flag	Engine	Meaning
--query "<type> in <place>"	both	the search (required)
--engine auto|gosom|places	—	default auto
--email	gosom	visit each website to extract emails
--depth N	gosom	scroll depth (1 ≈ 15-20 results)
--max N	places	max results
--out leads.csv	both	output path

What it does NOT do

It returns public Google Maps data and (optionally) generic website emails. It
does not find the owner’s name or a verified personal email, and it does not
send anything. For verified decision-maker emails and running the actual
outreach, feed these websites to Bavlio — it
researches each prospect, finds + verifies emails, and sends the campaign.

Note

The default engine scrapes logged-out Google Maps, which is against Google’s
ToS and can break if Maps changes. The Places API engine is the sanctioned,
durable path. Use sensible volume.
