What it is
A user picks a city and a kind of business, such as dentists or caterers, and gets a list of local businesses with no website, only a social page, or a broken link. Each row shows the name, address, phone number and a tag for its web status. Users export the list or track their outreach in a simple dashboard. Buyers are web designers, marketers and agencies who want local clients. The lists come from business listing sources, and the status check runs automatically.
The problem it solves
Freelancers who build websites lose hours scrolling maps and directories to find businesses that need one. Checking each listing by hand is slow, and the businesses with the biggest gap are the hardest to spot in bulk. So most freelancers keep pitching the same few warm contacts.
Who it suits
- Freelance web designers who want a steady supply of prospects
- Developers comfortable with data collection and APIs
- Small agencies that sell to local shops
How it makes money
- Plans at $19 for one city, $49 for five cities and $99 for national access
- Pay per exported lead at $0.50 to $2
- White-label licence for agencies
- Done-for-you website service as an upsell
How to test it this month
- 1Before building software, make a list of 100 businesses without websites in one city and niche by hand, using map listings.
- 2Offer that list free to five freelancers and ask which columns they used, whether they got a client, and what they would pay.
- 3If three of them come back for a second list, script the website check and the export, and put a price on it.
What to watch out for
Collecting listings in bulk often breaks the terms of the sites you take them from, and official data has fees and limits. Cold contact with owners has rules for calls, SMS and email, so check with a professional. The idea is built around US sources and dollar prices, so for India you must find your own data.
Costs and prices are estimates from our plan, not results from a real business. Nothing here promises income.
