The problem it solves

Building a list of local prospects means scrolling through Google Maps and copying names, numbers, and websites by hand, one listing at a time. It's easy to miss details, and even easier to waste time re-adding a business you already found.

Who it fits

Marketing agencies, sales teams, and recruiters building lists of local businesses.

How it works

  1. You enter a city and the type of business you're targeting
  2. It searches Google Maps for matching businesses
  3. It visits each listing to pull phone numbers, website, ratings, and reviews
  4. It checks the results against your spreadsheet to skip ones you already have
  5. New leads are saved to your spreadsheet and you're alerted by Gmail and Slack
What you get

Fresh local leads waiting in your spreadsheet

You get new local business leads matching your criteria delivered to your spreadsheet with an alert the moment they're found.

What you get

A growing spreadsheet of local business leads, plus an instant Gmail and Slack alert for each new one.

What you need

A ScrapeOps account, a Google Sheets account, a Gmail account, and a Slack 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.
