🔍 Understanding Signals

The signals object contains key indicators for identifying sales opportunities:

💡 Pro Tip: Businesses with hasChat: false and weekendOpen: false are prime candidates for Voice AI solutions - they're likely missing calls outside business hours!

🎯 Scoring System

Prospects are automatically scored and tiered:

• Tier A (≥0.75): 🔥 Hot leads - High priority, immediate follow-up
• Tier B (0.55-0.74): 🟡 Warm leads - Good follow-up targets
• Tier C (<0.55): ❄️ Cold leads - Low priority or nurture

Scoring Factors

1. Missed Calls Risk (25%): Low online engagement = more missed calls
2. Review Pain (20%): Negative reviews or low ratings
3. Lead Velocity (25%): No chat/forms = slower lead capture
4. Contactability (30%): Missing contact info reduces reachability

🔧 Google Maps Provider Options

Option 1: Outscraper (Recommended)

Advantages:

• ✅ Better data quality and reliability
• ✅ More complete business information
• ✅ Direct API access (no actor dependencies)
• ✅ Async processing with automatic polling
• ✅ Includes rich metadata (place_id, google_id, photos, logos)

Configuration:

{
"gmapsProvider":"outscraper",
"outscraperGmapsKey":"YOUR_API_KEY"
}

Get API key: https://app.outscraper.com/

⏱️ Note: Outscraper uses async processing - requests take 30-60 seconds to complete. The actor automatically polls for results every 5 seconds.

Option 2: Apify Actors

Supported Actors:

• compass/crawler-google-places (default)
• apify/google-maps-scraper
• Custom actors

Configuration:

{
"gmapsProvider":"apify"
}

Set GMAPS_ACTOR_ID environment variable.

📧 Email Enrichment

Email discovery uses multiple sources and tracks origins:

Sources

1. Base Discovery: Scrapes emails from business websites
2. Outscraper: Extracts additional emails via Outscraper Email Scraper API
3. Apollo: Retrieves company email patterns from Apollo.io

Email Source Tracking

Every prospect includes email_sources showing where each email originated:

{
"emails":["info@example.com","sales@example.com","contact@example.com"],
"email_sources":{
"base":["info@example.com"],
"outscraper":["sales@example.com","contact@example.com"],
"apollo":[]
}
}
