## What it does

The skill runs the `apidojo/google-search-scraper` actor on Apify through `scripts/run_actor.js` or the Apify MCP `call_actor` tool. It takes search parameters such as `searchTerms`, `countryCode`, and `maxPagesPerQuery`. Data exports as JSON or CSV.

The scoring algorithm assigns a 0.50 weight for agency keywords in the snippet and 0.30 for valid domains. Another 0.20 depends on the search position. A total score of 0.70 or higher marks the lead as `PRIME_PROSPECT`, while scores between 0.40 and 0.69 receive the `WARM_LEAD` tier. Directory sites like Clutch are excluded.

Search results return page titles and domain snippets without direct phone numbers or email addresses, requiring manual contact discovery. Operating the scraper also requires an active `$APIFY_TOKEN`.
