Lead Generator – Via Form
Automatically qualifies inbound leads using SERP research, LinkedIn scraping, and Apify-based email enrichment — all triggered from a simple form submission.
Problem Statement
The Solution
Automation Overview
We built an automation that transforms a raw form submission into a fully-enriched, sales-ready lead profile using SERP research, LinkedIn scraping, and Apify enrichment. The final output is stored neatly inside a Google Sheet that acts as a CRM or lead bank.
Form Submission → Trigger
The workflow begins when a lead submits a form. The system captures name, email, company name, role, message, and intent indicators, serving as the foundation for enrichment.
Google Serper – Company Intelligence
The automation uses Google Serper to locate the company website, fetch details, extract business type, verify authenticity, identify the correct LinkedIn company page, and retrieve public information. This instantly turns a simple “company name” into structured intelligence.
LinkedIn Profile Detection
Using the company data, the workflow searches for the founder, identifies key decision-makers (CEOs, CMOs, etc.), and extracts profile links and public metadata to clarify who the true prospect is.
Apify Email Enrichment
We run a targeted Apify actor to fetch verified emails, enrich LinkedIn profiles, add missing contact details, and collect team member metadata. This replaces manual data digging.
Lead Qualification Logic
The system evaluates leads based on seniority, company size, website presence, industry fit, and LinkedIn validity. Each lead is automatically marked as Qualified, Low Priority, or Invalid/Spam.
CRM Sync via Google Sheets
All enriched data is written into a master Google Sheet, mapped into clean columns, updated for duplicates, and append-only for new leads. The sheet effectively acts as an automated mini-CRM.
Clean Error Handling & Recovery
If any step fails (e.g., company not found), the system logs the failure, adds a “Needs Review” tag, but still records basic information to protect data consistency.

Fillout / Website Form – lead intake; Google Serper API – company research; LinkedIn Search / Scraping – decision-maker info; Apify Actors – email enrichment; Google Sheets – final CRM; n8n – orchestration.
