The problem it solves

You have a list of businesses but missing contact details, and manually searching for each website, phone number, and email one by one takes forever. Incomplete contact data slows down outreach and makes your list less useful.

Who it fits

A sales, marketing, or business development team working from a prospect list that needs contact details filled in.

How it works

  1. You provide a spreadsheet of business names
  2. The automation searches the web for each business's official website
  3. It extracts the phone number and email address when available
  4. The original data is combined with new website, phone, and email columns
  5. The completed file is emailed back to you
What you get

Contact gaps filled on the list you already have

You get your business list back with missing websites, phone numbers, and emails filled in.

What you get

An enriched spreadsheet with website, phone, and email columns added to your original list.

What you need

An email account and a web search or scraping tool.

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.
