Build a B2B leads list by industry and location using Google Places

You submit an industry and location, and it pulls matching business names, phone numbers and websites into a spreadsheet.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats more result pages available; runs once per each business found.

The problem it solves

Building a prospect list means searching Google or directories one business at a time and copying names, phone numbers and websites into a spreadsheet by hand. It is slow, repetitive work that eats into the time you could spend actually reaching out.

Who it fits

Sales teams, agencies or business developers building outreach lists for a specific industry and area.

How it works

  1. You submit an industry and location through a simple form
  2. The system searches Google Places for matching businesses
  3. It fetches additional pages of results if there are more
  4. Each business's phone number, website and address are looked up
  5. Every result is added as a new row in Google Sheets
What you get

Prospect lists sorted and ready before outreach starts

Get a spreadsheet full of matching businesses, their phone numbers, websites and addresses for any industry and area.

What you get

A Google Sheets list of prospects with company name, phone number, website and address.

What you need

A Google Cloud account with the Places API enabled and billing on, plus Google Sheets access.

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.
