name: google-maps-leadgen description: Generate B2B leads from Google Maps using a self-hosted MCP server (google-maps) and export to CSV or XLSX. Use when the user asks for lead generation by country/city/industry, wants phone/website/email enrichment, wants deduped lead lists, or asks to send lead files back in chat (especially Telegram file delivery).

Google Maps Lead Generation (MCP)

Use this skill to run repeatable lead-gen batches from Google Maps via MCP.

Preconditions

• mcporter configured with server google-maps.
• Server key in env (GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY) must be server-compatible (no browser referrer restriction).
• For XLSX output, openpyxl available in venv.

Fast workflow

1. Build query set from geography + target verticals.
2. Run maps_search_places for each query.
3. Keep only in-target geography, dedupe by place_id.
4. Enrich each place with maps_place_details.
5. Export CSV or XLSX.
6. If user asks for file in Telegram, send with message tool action=send + media path.

Query strategy

Use focused terms instead of broad generic terms.

• Good: "odoo partner <city> <country>", "erp integrator <city> <country>", "logistics company <city> <country>"
• Avoid huge overlapping lists in one run; do batches.

Required output columns (V2)

• name
• address
• phone
• website
• email (empty if not discoverable)
• rating
• place_id
• google_maps_url (mobile-safe):
  • https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=<NAME>&query_place_id=<PLACE_ID>

Cost notes

• Search calls are usually main paid SKU driver.
• Place details add enrichment cost.
• Report rough run cost estimate and mention free-tier caveat.

Reliability guardrails

• Batch enrich in small chunks (10–50) to avoid long-running timeouts.
• Add retries for transient failures.
• Never commit API keys or sensitive exports.

Delivery rules

• If user asks for CSV/XLSX file in chat: send via message tool (media path).
• If user asks specifically for XLSX formatting/edits, use xlsx workflow standards.
• Keep summary concise: count, coverage (with_phone, with_website, with_email), file path/name.
