The Problem
Direct Google Maps scraping violates TOS and breaks under IP bans. Manual research burns nights. Most 'free Maps scrapers' on Reddit work for a month then fail.
The Scavio Solution
Outscraper for the bulk Maps record pull + Scavio for the qualification layer (active website, Reddit complaints, social presence) + Hunter for email validation. TOS-safe across the entire stack.
Before
Agency burnout: nights in Maps, opening sites, checking reviews, hunting emails. Per the OP — 'after all that work, some weren't even good prospects.'
After
1K Outscraper records + 200 Scavio qualifications + 200 Hunter validations = under $10 per niche-cycle of 200 qualified prospects.
Who It Is For
Local SEO agencies, lead-gen shops, B2B sales teams targeting brick-and-mortar verticals at 200-2000 leads/mo per niche.
Key Benefits
- TOS-safe across the stack (no Google Maps direct scraping)
- Cross-source qualification beyond Maps
- Hunter validation prevents bounce-rate domain damage
- <$10 per niche-cycle of 200 qualified
- Composable, swappable parts
Python Example
import requests, os
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}
def qualify(business):
score = 0
queries = [
f'site:{business["website"]}',
f'"{business["name"]}" review 2026',
f'site:linkedin.com/company {business["name"]}',
f'reddit "{business["name"]}" complaint',
]
for q in queries:
r = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', headers=H, json={'query': q}).json()
score += min(len(r.get('organic_results', [])), 3)
