## Use it when
- Agencies selling to local businesses.
- Local service and physical businesses.

## Do not use it for
- Enterprise B2B targeting.
- Personal contact data.

## Input
Niche and cities

## What it produces
A clean list of local businesses with contact routes.

- Businesses with website, rating and reviews.
- Duplicates removed.
- A cost estimate before it runs.

## What it needs
An Apify API token. The Google Maps scraper is billed per result on your Apify account; the skill shows the cost before running.
