## What it does

The skill targets legal practices through Google queries. Searches execute through the `apidojo/google-search-scraper` actor on Apify. Inputs accept `searchTerms`, a `countryCode` like `US`, and `maxPagesPerQuery`. You can invoke it directly via `node scripts/run_actor.js` or the Apify REST API.

Results undergo weighted scoring using legal signals, domain checks, and search rank. Scores at or above 0.70 receive the `PRIME_PROSPECT` tier. Directories like Avvo or FindLaw are discarded.

Search snippets include website URLs and short text snippets. It provides no direct phone numbers. Teams planning sales outreach will need additional tools to find email addresses. Running queries requires an Apify account and `$APIFY_TOKEN`.
