Local businesses: find the shops, clinics and agencies in your area
If you sell to local businesses, your market is on the map. This hunter finds operating businesses by category and city, with their phone number and website, so your team can start local outreach in minutes.

What is a local lead generation?
Local lead generation is the process of finding small and medium businesses in a specific area and category, such as dental clinics in Manchester or salons in Lisbon, and reaching them with a relevant offer.
Selling to local businesses usually starts with hours of copying names from maps and directories. It is slow, and the lists get outdated quickly.
The local businesses hunter searches Google Maps listings for the categories and areas you target. It keeps operating businesses and notes their phone and website, so your team knows how to reach them.
Your team gets a ready local market list, and your AI sales agent can prepare messages that fit each type of business.
