The problem it solves

Building a list of local business prospects by hand means scrolling through Google Maps, copying names, phone numbers, and emails one by one, then cleaning up the mess before you can send a single outreach email. It's slow, repetitive work that eats into time you could spend actually selling.

Who it fits

Marketing agencies, freelancers, and sales teams doing local prospecting who want a clean lead list without copy-paste work.

How it works

  1. Starts when you run it for a chosen location and business category
  2. Scrapes matching businesses from Google Maps, including emails, phone numbers, websites, and social links
  3. Cleans and structures the data into consistent fields
  4. Saves each business as a new record in your database
  5. Sends a personalized outreach email to each lead automatically
What you get

Prospect lists filled without cold-calling

You get a ready-to-contact list of local businesses automatically emailed with a personalized outreach message.

What you get

A structured database of local business leads with contact details, plus a personalized email sent to each one.

What you need

A Google Maps scraping service, an Airtable 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.
