The problem it solves

You need a list of local businesses to reach out to, but copying names, phone numbers, and ratings out of directory sites one by one eats up an entire afternoon. Duplicate entries and messy formatting make the list harder to work with once you're done.

Who it fits

Sales teams, agencies, or franchise developers who need fresh local business lists for a city or region.

How it works

  1. You specify a city or ZIP code and category to search
  2. Bright Data pulls business names, contact details, ratings, and categories from local directories
  3. OpenAI cleans up the data and removes duplicate listings
  4. The finished list is emailed to you as a CSV and saved to Google Sheets
What you get

Fresh local leads you didn't have to compile

You get an emailed list of local businesses in any city, cleaned up and ready to use for outreach.

What you get

A cleaned, deduplicated list of local businesses with contact details, delivered by email and saved to a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Bright Data account, an OpenAI account, a Google Sheets 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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
