The problem it solves

Building a list of leads by hand means searching Google Maps one business at a time, copying details, and guessing which ones are worth chasing. It eats up hours you could spend actually selling. And by the time your list is done, some of the information is already stale.

Who it fits

A sales team, agency, or business developer who needs a steady list of qualified local leads.

How it works

  1. You choose a business category, location, and country to search
  2. The system searches Google Maps for matching businesses
  3. Each business is enriched with contact details and a summary
  4. OpenAI scores and summarizes each lead's potential
  5. The finished leads are added to a Google Sheet
What you get

Qualified local leads landing in your pipeline

You get a steady stream of enriched, scored local business leads delivered straight into a spreadsheet, ready for your sales team to work.

What you get

A Google Sheet full of enriched, scored local business leads ready to work.

What you need

A SerpAPI account, an OpenAI account, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
