The problem it solves

Building a list of local businesses to contact means hours of copying names, addresses, and phone numbers by hand. By the time your list is ready, it's already out of date or full of duplicates.

Who it fits

Sales teams, agencies, and freelancers building lists of local businesses to contact.

How it works

  1. You start the process with your search criteria, like city and industry
  2. The system scrapes matching business listings from Google Maps, including name, address, phone, and website
  3. It removes duplicate listings
  4. OpenAI GPT-4o writes a short summary for each business
  5. Every business and its summary is added to a Google Sheets list ready for outreach
What you get

Leads added to your outreach list

You get a ready-to-use spreadsheet of local business leads, complete with contact details and a short summary for every prospect.

What you get

A Google Sheets list of local businesses with contact details and an AI-written summary for each one.

What you need

An Apify 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.
