The problem it solves

Finding businesses that need a website means scrolling through map listings one by one and manually checking who already has an online presence. Keeping that list free of duplicates as you go makes it even slower.

Who it fits

A web design agency or freelancer prospecting for local businesses that need a website built.

How it works

  1. Searches Google Maps for businesses in a chosen category and city
  2. Filters for businesses that have a phone number but no website
  3. Checks the results against your existing lead spreadsheet
  4. Appends only the new, qualified leads with contact details
What you get

Local businesses found that still need a website

You get a growing list of local businesses with no website, checked against your existing leads so nothing repeats.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet of local business leads with no current website, ready for outreach.

What you need

A Google account with access to Google Maps and Google Sheets.

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.
