The skill
Finds digital marketing agencies, creative studios, and web design firms via Google Search using apidojo's Google Search Scraper on Apify. Triggers when the user asks to: find digital agencies for outreach or partnership, discover marketing agencies in a specific city, build a list of SEO agencies or web design studios via Google, find creative agencies that might need your software, prospect marketing firms by searching Google, identify agencies by specialty and location, or compile an agency contact list from Google search results. Returns agency name, website URL, and Google snippet per result. Ideal for SaaS vendors, white-label providers, and B2B service companies targeting marketing agencies.

Scoring & Ranking
Score each result by:
snippet_has_agency_signals(contains: agency, studio, services, clients, marketing, SEO) → weight 0.50is_agency_domain(not .gov, .edu, .wikipedia, .youtube) → weight 0.30position→ score = 1 - (position / total_results), weight 0.20
score = 0.50 * int(agency_signals) + 0.30 * int(valid_domain) + 0.20 * (1 - position/total)
Classification
| Score | Tier | Label |
|---|---|---|
| ≥ 0.70 | A | PRIME_PROSPECT |
| 0.40–0.69 | B | WARM_LEAD |
| < 0.40 | C | LOW_PRIORITY |
Edge Cases
- Directory sites in results: Clutch, Yelp, Upwork listings are not agencies. Filter by checking if domain matches snippet.
- Wikipedia/news results: Skip results with domains like wikipedia.org, bbc.com.
- Limited contact data: SERP only returns title, URL, snippet — no phone/email. Use results as a starting list for manual outreach.
- Duplicate agencies: Same agency may appear for multiple search terms — deduplicate by domain.
- Local vs global: Use city-specific search terms for local results.
