Locus
Self-hosted Google Maps lead scraper with AI email finder
Search for a location and category, pull real Google Maps business listings, and run each one through AI enrichment to find and verify a real contact email. Free, open-source, AGPL-3.0; bring your own API keys. No account with us, nothing hosted; you run it yourself.
I built Locus because every lead-gen tool I found was either a paid SaaS with a monthly fee for something I could run myself, or a scraper with no real email verification built in.
Locus does the search-to-lead pipeline end-to-end: pull businesses from Google Maps, then verify emails with a real SMTP handshake, not just an AI guess. You bring your own search API key and AI key, so there's no markup and no usage cap from me.
What's in it right now: bulk search from a CSV (up to 50 searches at once), cross-session dedup so the same business found twice gets merged instead of duplicated, optional Hunter.io lookup, session comparison, and a Docker Compose stack that's actually been tested from cold start to finish.
It's AGPL-3.0, so if you run a modified version as a service, your changes have to stay open too. Repo's at github.com/mabdullahb/Locus. Happy to answer anything about the architecture or the scraping/ToS side of things.
