The problem it solves

Building a list of prospects or competitors means searching Google Maps, copying details one by one, and cleaning it all up in a spreadsheet. It's tedious work that eats up an afternoon when you just need a list to start calling or emailing.

Who it fits

A lead generation agency, researcher, or small business owner who needs company lists fast.

How it works

  1. You type a search request into a chat, like coffee shops in Berlin
  2. The system searches Google Maps for matching businesses
  3. It organizes the results into rows and columns
  4. You get a downloadable Excel file and the same data saved to a spreadsheet

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.
