The problem it solves

Finding new local business leads means hours of searching, visiting websites to hunt for a contact email, and then remembering who you already reached out to so you don't send the same pitch twice. That manual grind burns time you could spend actually selling.

Who it fits

Sales teams, agencies, and solo founders doing local business outreach.

How it works

  1. Pulls business listings from Google Maps for the area and category you set
  2. Visits each business website to find a contact email address
  3. Skips any business where no email could be found
  4. Saves new leads to a CRM, updating existing ones instead of creating duplicates
  5. Sends personalized outreach only to leads that haven't been emailed before, then marks them as contacted
What you get

Outreach that reaches new prospects only

You reach local businesses with personalized outreach while your CRM stays clean, updating existing leads instead of creating duplicates.

What you get

A deduplicated list of local business leads in your CRM, with outreach emails sent only to fresh contacts.

What you need

A web scraping account, a CRM account, and a Gmail 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.
