Business Lead Finder – Scrape Google Maps and Yelp for Leads

Extracts and deduplicates business data from Google Maps and Yelp and handles Maps' infinite scroll using Playwright so you can export consistent JSON/CSV without running infrastructure. Technically competent on scraping details, but the Actor ships with no README, has almost no user traction, and sits in a crowded category — expect manual tuning, rate-limit/legal caveats, and data freshness issues.
