The problem it solves

Building a local leads list means searching neighborhood by neighborhood, opening dozens of websites, and copying contact details by hand. It takes hours and you still end up with duplicates and dead links.

Who it fits

Freelancers, agencies, or sales teams doing local outreach who need a clean prospect list without manual research.

How it works

  1. You provide a business type and a city
  2. AI generates hyperlocal search terms to cover different neighborhoods
  3. The automation searches Google Maps and pulls business details and websites
  4. Junk results and duplicates are filtered out
  5. Each business website is scanned to extract a valid email address
What you get

A list of local prospects with emails attached

You get a clean list of local businesses matching your criteria, complete with verified email addresses.

What you get

A deduplicated list of local businesses with names, websites, and email addresses.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and a web scraping service.

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.
