Local Lead Scraper
A Google Maps powered prospecting tool that finds local businesses with dated, non-mobile-friendly sites and builds a compliant outreach list.
What was going wrong
A web agency wanted to sell redesigns to local businesses, but finding the right prospects was manual: search a suburb, open site after site, judge each one by eye.
Cold email in Australia is restricted. You can only email an address that is published on the business's own website, which is inferred consent. A scraped list from anywhere else is a compliance risk.
What I built
We built a scraper on the Google Maps API. The agency enters a location (postcode or suburb) and an industry (for example audiologists), and the tool pulls every matching business.
Each website is then audited for signs it needs work: dated design, not mobile friendly, and other issues. Only the business email addresses publicly listed on the site are kept, so the list stays within inferred consent.
The output is a targeted list that records what is wrong with each website, so the first email can open with a specific, true observation instead of a generic pitch.
