The problem it solves

Manually searching Google Maps for local businesses and copying names, addresses, and phone numbers into a spreadsheet eats hours, and you're often still missing emails or websites at the end of it.

Who it fits

Sales teams, marketers, or researchers building targeted local business lead lists.

How it works

  1. You describe the type of business and location you want
  2. The system searches Google Maps for matching businesses
  3. It visits each business website to fill in missing details
  4. AI cleans and organizes the data
  5. Results are saved to a Google Sheet
What you get

Local business leads ready to contact

You get a ready-made list of local businesses matching your criteria, complete with contact details pulled from their websites.

What you get

An organized spreadsheet of business leads with names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and websites.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a web scraping API key, and a Google Sheets 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.
