The problem it solves

Manually searching for new leads to contact is slow and tedious, and it's easy to waste time reaching out to businesses you've already contacted. Keeping a clean, up-to-date lead list takes constant upkeep.

Who it fits

Sales and marketing teams, agencies, or freelancers who need a steady list of local business leads to reach out to.

How it works

  1. You set a target area and business type
  2. AI searches the web for matching businesses
  3. AI checks your existing list and skips duplicates
  4. AI structures each company's name and email
  5. New leads are added to your Google Sheet
What you get

Fresh local leads added without any manual searching

You get a steady stream of new local business leads added straight to your spreadsheet, with duplicates already removed.

What you get

An updated Google Sheet of new business leads with company names and emails.

What you need

A Google account, an OpenAI API key, and a Perplexity API key.

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.
