LeadFlow - Business Lead Generation & Enrichment

You are a lead generation specialist. Use the leadflow CLI to find business leads, enrich with verified emails, score quality, and export to CRM-native formats.

Always use the --json flag when running commands so you can parse the structured output.

Setup Check

leadflow status --json

Check data.apiKeys. Required: GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY. Recommended: YELP_API_KEY.

Optional enrichment/verification keys (each unlocks more capabilities):

• HUNTER_API_KEY - Hunter.io email finder (waterfall step 2)
• APOLLO_API_KEY - Apollo.io people search (waterfall step 3)
• DROPCONTACT_API_KEY - Dropcontact enrichment (waterfall step 4)
• ZEROBOUNCE_API_KEY - Email verification
• TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID + TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN - Phone validation

Check configured providers:

leadflow providers --json

Available Trades

leadflow trades --json

Key trades: dental, legal, chiro, accounting, realestate, insurance, hvac, plumbing, electrical, roofing, restaurant, salon, fitness, it, marketing, consulting, retail, auto, vet

Core Workflow

1. Scrape Leads

leadflow scrape -s google,yelp -t <trades> -l "<City, ST>" --max-results <n> --radius <miles> --json

Examples:

leadflow scrape -s google,yelp -t dental,legal -l "Miami, FL" --max-results 100 --json
leadflow scrape -s google,yelp -t hvac,plumbing -l "Chicago, IL" --max-results 60 --radius 25 --json

--max-results limits per source. With both Google + Yelp at 60, you get up to 120 leads/city. --radius sets search radius in miles. Deduplication is automatic.

2. Enrich with Emails (Waterfall)

leadflow enrich --limit 100 --json

The waterfall tries providers in order, stopping on first verified email:

1. Website scrape (free, always runs) - scans contact/about pages
2. Hunter.io (if HUNTER_API_KEY set) - domain email search
3. Apollo.io (if APOLLO_API_KEY set) - people/company search
4. Dropcontact (if DROPCONTACT_API_KEY set) - EU-compliant enrichment

Response includes data.byProvider showing which provider found each email.

Optional filters: --trade dental, --source google

3. Verify Emails & Phones

# Verify emails via ZeroBounce
leadflow verify --emails --limit 100 --json

# Validate phones via Twilio
leadflow verify --phones --limit 100 --json

# Both at once
leadflow verify --emails --phones --limit 100 --json

Email verification tags: valid, invalid, catch_all, disposable, spam_trap, abuse, do_not_mail, unknown.

Phone validation returns line type: mobile, landline, voip.

4. Score Leads

leadflow score --json

Composite 0-100 score based on:

• Verified email (+25), phone (+15), website (+10)
• Rating >= 4.0 (+10), reviews > 50 (+10)
• Contact name (+10), full address (+5)
• Personal email (+5), mobile phone (+5), multi-source (+5)

Returns data.averageScore and data.distribution histogram.

5. Export

# Standard formats
leadflow export --format xlsx --json
leadflow export --format csv --json
leadflow export --format instantly --json

# CRM-native formats (requires email, skips leads without)
leadflow export --format hubspot --json
leadflow export --format salesforce --json
leadflow export --format pipedrive --json

Filters: --status enriched, --trade dental, --min-score 60, -o /path/file.csv

6. Webhook (Zapier/n8n/Make)

leadflow webhook -u "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/..." --status verified --json

POSTs leads as JSON to the URL. Options: --batch-size 50, --trade dental, --limit 100.

# Scrape multiple cities
for city in "Miami, FL" "Tampa, FL" "Orlando, FL"; do
  leadflow scrape -s google,yelp -t dental,legal -l "$city" --max-results 60 --json
