The problem it solves

Building a prospect list means searching Google Maps one business at a time, then hunting each company's website for the name of whoever actually makes decisions. That manual grind can eat an entire afternoon before you've sent a single outreach message.

Who it fits

Agencies, freelancers, and sales teams doing local business outreach.

How it works

  1. You submit a city and business type through a form
  2. The system searches Google Maps for matching businesses
  3. It removes duplicate listings
  4. For each business, it scans the company website for the decision-maker's name and contact email
  5. Every lead is added as a new row in a Google Sheet
What you get

Qualified leads found for your target market

You get a ready-to-use spreadsheet of local business leads, complete with decision-maker names and contact emails for outreach.

What you get

A Google Sheet of leads with business name, location, decision-maker name, and contact email where available.

What you need

An Olostep API account 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.
