n8n: Weekly Google Maps Leads to Google Sheets via Apify

Get fresh Google Maps leads every week—and drop them straight into Google Sheets

This n8n workflow automatically runs every Monday to pull new Google Maps business leads using an Apify actor, filters them with an AI-based target description, and appends the matched results into your chosen Google Sheets worksheet. Perfect for repeatable, search-driven prospecting with minimal manual work.

What this workflow does

• Schedules weekly: Runs every Monday at 08:00 using an n8n Schedule Trigger.
• Configures your search: Sets the Google Maps search query, location, ideal-customer/target description, and a maximum number of leads to retrieve.
• Fetches new leads via Apify: Calls the Apify actor scoutforge/google-maps-leads to collect new leads that match your target description.
• Appends to Google Sheets: Adds the returned lead records to a selected Google Sheets spreadsheet and worksheet.

Use cases

• Weekly local outreach: Generate a consistent list of businesses from Google Maps for your sales team.
• Targeted lead qualification: Use the AI relevance check (based on your target description) to reduce irrelevant entries before they hit your pipeline.
• SaaS/operator prospecting: Keep prospect data organized in Google Sheets for follow-up workflows you build in n8n.
• Lead expansion: Add multiple search queries or adjust the schedule to cover different niches and regions.
