# MapsLeadExtractor

> Extract verified business leads from Google Maps with specific web defects (no website, slow page speed, missing SSL, poor SEO, not mobile-friendly). Built for web design agencies, SEO consultants, and freelancers to find high-intent prospects across 15 industries in 4 countries.

## What It Does

MapsLeadExtractor is a specialized lead generation tool that scrapes Google Maps in real-time and automatically detects businesses with web presence issues. Unlike generic scrapers like Outscraper or PhantomBuster, we focus on QUALITY over quantity - finding businesses that actually need your services.

**The Problem We Solve:**

Manual lead generation is broken. Agencies waste 10+ hours per week clicking through Google Maps, copying business details into spreadsheets, then manually checking each website to see if they even need help. Generic scrapers give you 10,000 leads with a 2% conversion rate because most businesses don't have the problems you solve.

**Our Solution:**

- 10,000 qualified leads in 5 minutes (not days)
- Built-in defect detection automatically identifies businesses with no website, slow page speed, missing SSL, bad SEO, or poor mobile optimization
- Email verification & enrichment included - reach decision makers, not generic info@ addresses
- Export ready-to-use CSVs compatible with Apollo.io, HubSpot, Instantly.ai, and other CRMs
- Industry-specific templates for 15 verticals (Plumbers, Dentists, Lawyers, Restaurants, etc.)

**Target Users:**

- Web design agencies looking for local businesses without websites (40% of local businesses still don't have one)
- SEO consultants finding businesses with zero backlinks or poor domain authority
- Freelance developers needing quality leads instead of cold calling
- Marketing agencies prospecting for retainer clients with measurable problems

**Market Opportunity:**

- USA: 32.5M small businesses (51% of landscapers have web defects)
- UK: 5.5M small businesses (48% of roofers have slow sites)
- Canada: 1.2M small businesses
- Australia: 2.4M small businesses

## How It Works
