Problem

Finding and prioritizing local prospects (e.g. roofers, dentists) by hand is slow, and lists end up full of duplicates

Caveats

Apify usage is billed separately (cost per run UNKNOWN), and you need a Google Gemini API key. Scraping Google Maps may be limited by Google's and Apify's terms; review them before use.

Setup estimates are rough guesses for someone comfortable with the tools who already has the accounts and API keys. Real time is unknown until tested.
