Pipeline Steps

•Google Maps Scrape - Apify compass/crawler-google-places returns listings
•Website Scraping - Fetches main page + up to 5 contact pages
•Web Search Enrichment - DuckDuckGo search for owner contact info
•Claude Extraction - Claude 3.5 Haiku extracts structured contacts
•Google Sheet Sync - Appends new leads, deduplicates by lead_id

Cost

Component	Per Lead
Apify Google Maps	~$0.01-0.02
Claude Haiku	~$0.002
DuckDuckGo/HTTP	Free
Total	~$0.012-0.022

For 100 leads: ~$1.50-2.50 total

Troubleshooting

•"No businesses found": Include location in query
•403 Forbidden: ~10-15% of sites block scrapers (handled gracefully)
•Auth issues: Delete token.json and re-authenticate
•Duplicates: Uses lead_id (MD5 of name|address) for deduplication
