The problem it solves

Building a list of local businesses to contact means hours of manually searching Google Maps, copying names and numbers, and pasting them into a spreadsheet one by one. It is tedious and easy to make mistakes.

Who it fits

A sales, agency, or growth team that needs a list of local businesses to reach out to.

How it works

  1. You enter a location and a type of business to search for
  2. The system searches Google Maps listings matching that search
  3. It pulls out the business name, phone number, and email when available
  4. Every result is saved as a clean row in a spreadsheet
What you get

Business contacts collected street by street

Business names, phone numbers, and emails from Google Maps are pulled together automatically into one clean spreadsheet ready for outreach.

What you get

A spreadsheet of local business contacts ready for outreach or import into a CRM.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an API key for the business data lookup 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.
