Lead generation teams
Prioritize likely buyers based on visible weaknesses in their local presence and website footprint.
Bring your own provider key
Use your own data provider to find local businesses worth contacting.
Mapspector is the bridge between your own Apify or map-data provider account and a cleaner lead workflow. You bring the API key; Mapspector stores it encrypted, runs the search, normalizes the businesses, and scores outreach opportunities.
Searches
Store reusable keyword + location search requests separately from execution jobs.
Jobs
Track each run, retry, or provider attempt using dedicated
search_jobs rows.
Leads
Score businesses for outreach instead of leaving them as raw scraped rows.
Run a quick prospecting scan
Start with a keyword and city. Mapspector uses your saved provider key, creates a search/job record, fetches live provider results, then stores scored leads.
Preparing your search...
Built for agencies, local SEO operators, and outbound teams
Most scraping workflows stop at “here are some businesses.” Mapspector acts as your BYO-key bridge: it runs searches through your provider account, stores each run cleanly, normalizes the results, and scores why each business may be worth outreach.
Freelancers and agencies
Use your own provider account to build prospect lists for SEO, web design, reputation management, ads, or local optimization.
Internal operators
Map service categories, benchmark local markets, and build simple territory intelligence from one place.
What the scoring can look for
Missing website
Low review count
Poor ratings
Weak reputation
Category gaps
Thin profile data
The current MVP uses live provider results with simple scoring. The architecture follows a clean progression: users → provider_keys → searches → search_jobs → businesses → leads.
Separate the saved search from the execution run
Create a search
The search stores the business keyword, location, owner, and high-level status.
Create a job
Every execution of that search becomes a new job row, which is ideal for retries, provider changes, and historical runs.
Upsert businesses and score leads
Businesses remain reusable records, while leads capture why a business matters to a specific search/job.
From input to usable lead list
Enter a keyword and location, such as “dentist” in “Houston TX.”
The app stores the user’s requested market search as a reusable search entity.
A dedicated search job is created to represent the actual provider run.
The run produces businesses and lead rows that can be viewed, exported, or rescored later.
Quick answers
Does Mapspector provide the data itself?
No. Mapspector is the bridge and workflow layer. You bring your own provider key, currently Apify, and Mapspector uses that key to run searches inside your account.
Who should use Mapspector?
It is best suited for anyone selling local services to businesses: SEO, websites, paid ads, lead generation, reputation management, and similar offers.
What makes it better than a raw scraper?
The goal is not just to collect businesses, but to organize the search lifecycle and explain opportunity. That means better follow-up and less manual cleanup.
