Automate LinkedIn Lead Gen with Google Search & Airtable

This n8n workflow automates the discovery of LinkedIn professionals tailored for sales, recruiters, and marketers. It leverages Google's Custom Search API to query for specific job titles, industries, or locations, bypassing LinkedIn's search limits. Results are parsed for titles, descriptions, URLs, and snippets, then organized into Airtable with automatic deduplication and field mapping.

Key benefits include massive time savings by processing multiple search pages automatically, scalable prospect list building without manual copy-pasting, and structured data ready for CRM integration or outreach campaigns. It eliminates duplicates, ensures data quality, and handles high-volume searches efficiently.

Ideal use cases: Building targeted sales pipelines, sourcing recruiter candidates, market research for BDR teams, or compiling expert lists for partnerships. Input keywords like 'Sales Director NYC tech', and get a clean Airtable base of prospects ready for follow-up.

The workflow includes pagination for exhaustive results, robust error handling, and easy customization for different criteria, making it a powerhouse for lead generation automation.
