The problem it solves

You spend hours scrolling through online listings trying to find local businesses that could use your services. By the time you've narrowed down who doesn't have a website, the good leads are often gone.

Who it fits

Web designers, marketing agencies, and local SEO teams building prospect lists by city.

How it works

  1. You choose a city and the types of businesses to search
  2. The automation searches Google Maps for matching businesses
  3. Each business is checked for an existing website
  4. Businesses without a website are scored as opportunities
  5. Results are added to a spreadsheet ready for outreach
What you get

Prospects surfaced before a competitor calls them

You get a ranked list of local businesses that need a website, ready for outreach.

What you get

A spreadsheet of local businesses with no website, complete with contact details and an opportunity score.

What you need

A Google Cloud account with the Places API enabled, 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.
