The problem it solves

You want a list of local businesses to reach out to, whether for sales, partnerships, or market research, but the paid lead databases are expensive and often outdated. Manually searching maps and copying details one by one takes hours you don't have.

Who it fits

Small business owners, marketers, and sales teams who need a targeted list of local business leads.

How it works

  1. You set the keywords and locations you want to search, like a business type and city
  2. The automation searches free map data for matching businesses
  3. It collects names, addresses, and contact details for each match
  4. For businesses with a website but no listed email, it visits the site to find one
  5. It removes duplicates and saves the cleaned list to Google Sheets
What you get

A ready list of local leads to contact

You get a clean spreadsheet of matching local businesses, complete with names, addresses, and emails, ready for your team to start reaching out.

What you get

A spreadsheet of local business leads with names, addresses, and contact emails.

What you need

A Google Sheets account. No paid data subscription is required.

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.
