The problem it solves

Building a prospect list for a new campaign means hours of searching, copying names off websites, and hunting for contact details one by one. That manual research eats up time you would rather spend actually selling.

Who it fits

A sales team, agency, or B2B marketer who needs a targeted list of local business prospects fast.

How it works

  1. You add a search term, like a business type and city, to a spreadsheet
  2. AI generates a set of targeted search and map queries from your term
  3. The system runs those searches and collects matching companies
  4. It visits each company website to pull emails and phone numbers
  5. Your spreadsheet fills in with the enriched, deduplicated leads
What you get

Lead lists ready to verify, not build

You type in a search like plumbers in Chicago and get back a spreadsheet full of company names, emails, and phone numbers.

What you get

A spreadsheet of prospect companies with contact details, ready for outreach.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a search API subscription, and an AI service.

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.
