Google-Powered SMB Data Collection Workflow

Develop a cost-effective, fully Google-powered workflow enhanced with external data sources to collect, validate, and manage data for local small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) not active on LinkedIn. The focus is on gathering business owner names, email addresses, and price levels (average ticket size).
