THE LEADS

What does a lead include?

A real call, trimmed to one business. Three leads came back in 596 ms, each with the fields a call list or a CRM import needs. Phones are masked on this page; the API returns them in full.

THE PIPELINE

How do you build a lead list?

Three calls, one pipeline. Business, person, email.

  1. 1

    Create a free account and pull businesses with type=maps. Any niche, any city, 3,000 free credits a month.

  2. 2

    Find the decision maker with the LinkedIn endpoint, type=company and type=profile, from public, logged-out pages.

  3. 3

    Add email=true to the profile call for a work email marked verified, pattern-likely, or unknown. No guessed emails sold as facts.

Not a developer? Run the same searches in the playground and export CSV straight into Sheets or your CRM. Need every business in a metro rather than a search page? See the Google Maps scraper.

PRICING

How much does a lead cost?

Maps bills 1 credit per business returned, so the price of a lead is the price of a credit. A search that returns nothing costs nothing.

List sizeCreditsCost
1,000 business leads1,000Free tier covers it 3 times over
10,000 leads10,000About $20 on the $49 pack
100,000 leads100,000$149 pack, $1.49 per 1,000
Person-level enrichment1 per successful callProfile plus email on the same billing

Packs continue to $0.40 per 1,000 at volume. Prices ex-tax. Credits never expire, so an unused batch this month is still yours next year.

WHY LIVE MATTERS

Why not just buy a list?

A purchased list started aging the day it was exported. Numbers go dead, owners change, businesses close, and every buyer of that list is calling the same people.

An API pull happens at the moment you ask: current rating, current phone, current website, straight from the live page. And nobody else has your exact list, because you just made it.

On compliance. Everything comes from public, logged-out pages, with no accounts and no fake profiles. Logged-out, public-only collection has repeatedly defeated computer-fraud and contract claims. Emails are separately found and verified, never scraped from behind a login.

FAQ

Common questions

We read public, logged-out pages, with no accounts and no fake profiles. Logged-out, public-only collection has repeatedly defeated computer-fraud and contract claims. How you contact the leads is on you, so mind your local outreach rules.

Business listings do not publish emails, so Maps leads carry phone and website instead. Person-level email comes from the profile call with email=true, marked verified, pattern-likely, or unknown, and we never inflate an unknown into a promise.

A list is a snapshot someone else sells to many buyers. An API pull is made for you at request time, with current ratings, phones, and websites, and it costs about $2 per 1,000 instead of list-broker prices.

Yes. The playground runs every search in the browser and exports CSV, and the same key works in the official n8n node and the Clay HTTP recipe.

Every call runs live at request time, nothing is served from a stored list. The sample on this page came back in 596 milliseconds on the date stamped under it.

Yes. A single search returns up to 100 businesses. For full-metro coverage, the Google Maps scraper page shows the sweep approach, and our records regularly run past 1,000 businesses per niche per city.
