LeadGenPy

Overview

The Python script, main.py, controls the entire operation of LeadGenPy. It utilizes Selenium with a web driver to enter Google Maps, search for specific business types, and extract relevant information.

LeadGenPy performs the following tasks:

1. Data Extraction:

   • Searches for a specific business type and location.
   • Loops through search results, extracts business details, and stores data in CSV (data.csv) and JSON (data.json) files simultaneously.
   • Data extracted includes:

           {
               "BusinessName": "Sample Business",
               "Address": "123 Main Street, Cityville, State 12345",
               "PhoneNumber": "123-456-7890",
               "Website": "samplebusiness.com",
               "Category": "General Business",
               "Rating": "4.2",
               "ReviewCount": "10",
               "google_map_link": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sample+Business/data=...",
               "email": "info@samplebusiness.com",
               "status": "success"
           }
     
     

2. User Interaction:

   • Offers options to the user:
     • Terminate (mode == 0).
     • Start extraction (mode == 1).
     • View extracted dataset (mode == 2).
     • Transfer data to Google Sheets (mode == 3).
     • Generate personalized emails using Chat GPT (mode == 4).
     • Production mode (combining extraction, data transfer, and email sending) (mode == 5).
     • Development mode for sheet cleanup (else).

3. Authentication:

   • Prompts for Google sign-in if not authenticated (used for storing data in Google Sheets).

4. Select Extraction Mode (Mode 1):

   • Choose the extraction mode to search for a specific business type and location on Google Maps.
   • Follow on-screen instructions to provide the business name and location.
   • The script will loop through search results, extract business details, and store data in CSV (data.csv) and JSON (data.json) files.
