The problem it solves

You want a running list of local businesses to reach out to, but searching maps and typing details into a document by hand is slow and easy to duplicate. Keeping the list current and free of repeats takes constant upkeep.

Who it fits

A local sales or marketing team building a prospect list by area.

How it works

  1. A target location and business categories kick off the search
  2. The system finds local businesses matching those categories
  3. Duplicate entries already on the list are filtered out
  4. New leads are logged in the shared Google Doc
What you get

New local leads logged without duplicates

You get a running list of local businesses in your target area added to a shared doc, with duplicates filtered out.

What you get

An updated Google Doc listing new local business leads with contact details.

What you need

A Google Workspace 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.
