About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to streamline your lead generation process by automating web scraping and data organization. It begins by initiating an Apify web scraper to collect valuable business leads based on your specified criteria, such as location and keywords like 'barber'. After a brief wait period to ensure all data is gathered, the workflow processes the scraped results, extracting key details like company name, address, state, neighborhood, phone number, and emails. Finally, it updates your designated Google Sheet with this fresh lead data, ready for your sales team to utilize. This template is ideal for collecting larger volumes of leads efficiently.
