Introduction: The Power of Automated Lead Generation
Digital landscapes today, that are dynamic and fast-paced, often have the tendency to be target-driven. One of the many factors that require an substantial amount of time and effort for any individual in the workspace is manually going on the hunt for lead prospects and simultaneously coming up with customized content demands.
Automation is the solution that works best in this scenario to transform one's workflow. It serves as a way to level up from manual techniques. Be it identifying potential clients or dispatching tailored content calendars with posts and images, artificial intelligence works wonders. My personal suggestion would be to incorporate Make.com in your workflow and automate every step. This comprehensive guide will give you that exact know-how to simplify your work process
Understanding the Automated Workflow

This automation system combines several powerful elements:
Lead scraping from Yellow Pages (or similar directories)
Website analysis using AI
Automated content calendar creation
AI-generated images for social media
Personalized voice messages
Automated email outreach
The best part? You will not need to have any prior knowledge of coding to build this system. Mentioned below are the steps that will break down each component and explain how they work together.
Setting Up the Lead Generation Foundation
Configuring the Lead Scraping Module

The first step involves setting up an Apify actor to scrape leads from Yellow Pages. Here's how to configure it:
Create an Apify account (free to start)
Go to the the Apify store and then look up "Yellow Pages US Scraper"
Connect Apify to Make.com
Configure the actor with:
Search parameters (e.g., "plumbers")
Location (e.g., "Los Angeles")
Maximum results (start with 10 for testing)
Pro Tip: When testing your workflow, always limit the initial scraping to 10 results to preserve your API credits and reduce processing time.
Website Analysis and Contact Information Extraction
Once we have our initial leads, the system needs to:
Extract website URLs from the Yellow Pages data
Visit each website to find contact information
Store relevant business details for personalization
Building the AI Content Generation System
The magic of this automation lies in its ability to create personalized content for each lead. Here's how the AI components work together:
Website Analysis Using Perplexity AI
