| description | How to find and VERIFY business leads (any niche, any city) — especially "businesses without a website" prospecting. Decides "no website" by SEARCHING the business name, not by a map button. Use whenever the user asks to find businesses, shops, vendors, professionals, or sales leads in a location. No API key needed — web_search + the browser do everything. |

Lead Scout
Goal: a verified lead = a business that has NO website of its own, confirmed by searching for it — the use case is selling websites to businesses that don't have one. Keyless: web_search + the browser do all the work, no API key.
The rule — what counts as "having a website"
A business has a website only if it has its own site: an official domain (e.g. cafeborkar.com, artjuna.in). These do NOT count as a website:
- Social pages — instagram.com, facebook.com
- Aggregators / directories — zomato, swiggy, justdial, tripadvisor, magicpin, dineout
- Its Google Maps / Google Business listing
So if searching for the business surfaces only those, it has no website → it's a lead.
Method — decide by SEARCH, never by a map button
- Get candidate names —
web_search FIRST (don't drive Maps unless search is unavailable):
web_search "<niche> in <city>" returns businesses + their domains. Often this single search already answers it — a business appearing only on aggregators/social with no own domain is your lead.- ONLY if
web_search is down/rate-limited: browser navigate to https://www.google.com/maps/search/<niche>+in+<city>, then one snapshot (snapshotFormat:"text")/evaluate to read the whole list at once (never screenshot or click each listing). scroll (to:"bottom") + snapshot again for more.
- Decide per business with a search — THIS is the step that determines "no website":
web_search "<business name> <city>". (If web_search is rate-limited, run the same query in the browser: navigate to a Bing / DuckDuckGo-html / Google results URL, then snapshot.)- Scan the results: is any result the business's own domain (per the rule above)?
- Yes → it HAS a website — skip it, not a lead.
- Only social / aggregator / Maps results → no website → it's a lead.
- Not sure which result is theirs? Open the top non-social hit and
snapshot to confirm whose site it is.
- Report each lead with the evidence: name, area/address + phone if found, and why it's a lead — e.g. "searched 'Cafe Borkar Panaji' — only an Instagram page and a Zomato listing came up, no own website."
Phone / address
Read them from the search results or the business's own social page. Google Maps hides the phone behind a sign-in in its UI — don't fight that panel; the number is usually right there in the search results or on their Instagram/Facebook.
Anti-patterns
- NEVER decide "no website" from a missing Google Maps "Website" button. That only means nobody linked a site to Google — the business may well have one. The ONLY valid way to decide is to search the business name and see whether its own site appears.
- Don't screenshot a listing and read it visually, and don't click into each listing one-by-one — read a list with ONE
snapshot/evaluate, then decide by search.
- Don't spawn a sub-agent just to look up or verify a list — do it inline; a lookup doesn't need a crew.
- Don't report a lead you haven't actually searched for; never invent phone numbers from memory.
- If you find yourself repeating the same action without new results, STOP and report what you have so far.
- Don't treat an aggregator/directory page as the business's website or as the source of truth.
