For agencies that sell marketing to local businesses
Local businesses with the gap you fix, and the proof to pitch it.
Search a trade across the cities you serve, then filter for the gap their Google listing shows: an unclaimed profile, a rank outside the Maps top three, thin reviews, or a low rating. Every email we find is verified and each phone is checked for line type, so you can sequence the safe addresses and dial mobiles first.

A search for HVAC contractors in Boca Raton, FL, filtered to listings ranked outside the Maps top three. Sample rows: fictional businesses, reserved 555 numbers.
Slow to qualify, hard on your domains, and easy to ignore.
Qualifying a territory by hand takes weeks
You search "roofer" in one town, scroll past the top three, then click into every listing to check the reviews, the "Own this business?" link, and the website before pasting it all into a sheet. At a few minutes a listing, one town is an afternoon and a territory is weeks, and some of it has changed by the time you dial.
Scraped lists burn the domains you send from
A raw scrape tells you a business exists, not whether info@ will bounce or whether the number rings the owner, a dispatcher, or an answering service. You find out by burning a secondary domain, or by running every row through a second tool before anyone sends.
Generic pitches get filed with the scams
Owners already hear "we'll get you to #1 on Google" and "your listing is about to be suspended" on repeat, some of it from callers pretending to be Google. A pitch with no proof about their own listing sounds the same. What stands apart is one specific thing they can check in ten seconds.
From a trade and a territory to a pitch with proof.
- 01
Search one trade across your territory
Type the trade as customers search it, say "HVAC contractor," and add the cities you serve: Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and West Palm Beach. One bulk search covers up to 250 cities, within your plan's daily city budget and as many as your lead balance can cover, and returns up to about 300 businesses per city, duplicates removed, each with its Maps rank for that exact keyword. In a dense metro, split into suburbs or keyword variants such as "AC repair."
- 02
Save one view per service line
Build a view for each thing you sell: Claimed is no for GBP management, Rank > 3 for local SEO, and a rating under 4.0 with real volume for reputation work. Views apply to any search and to the All leads library, every lead from every search. Filtering what you already have costs nothing.
- 03
Read the evidence before you write
Open a lead for what the export leaves out: the homepage screenshot, opening hours where Google has them, secondary categories, and any crawled pages past the first three. For SEO pitches, show the Page 1 Title and Page 1 Meta columns: a homepage titled "Home" or a blank description is there to read, sort, and export, though not to filter. Note the one observation you'll lead with.
- 04
Send each view where you work it
Download CSV or Excel (show the Address column first if you want street addresses in the CSV), or push to Google Sheets, Close, or GoHighLevel, one connected sub-account at a time. Re-exports to Close, GoHighLevel, or a sheet LeadMarina created update the same record, matched on Google's business ID. From Claude, the MCP server searches one city per call and queries your library for free.
- 05
Schedule the markets you're working
Schedule a search weekly or monthly, up to 25 cities per automation (as many as your lead balance can cover on each run), so the claim status and rating you quote come from the latest run. Every run is a fresh search charged per lead delivered; it re-delivers businesses you already have and sends the whole result, not a saved view. Keep automations to the territory you're working, not every city you've tried.
The gap you sell, read off their listing and their site.
Claimed: yes, no, or unknown
Whether someone has verified the Google Business Profile, but not who or how recently. Filter Claimed is no for the GBP-management list and keep unknown in its own view rather than folding it into either side. Google lets a third party claim a profile only with the owner's express consent, so the pitch is guided setup and ongoing management.
Maps rank for your keyword, in that city
Each lead carries its Google Maps position for your keyword in the city you searched, recorded when the search ran. Rank > 3 means outside the top three: the local SEO conversation, with the position as evidence. It's a snapshot, not rank tracking or a geo-grid, so re-check it before you quote a number.
Rating and review count, as numbers
Both filter and sort as numbers, so you can pull the shops with a dozen reviews in a trade where the leaders have hundreds, or a 3.7 average with real volume behind it. Thin counts are a review-generation pitch; a low rating with volume is reputation repair, and a more careful call. Review count is also a rough proxy for how established and busy a business is, not revenue or headcount.
Homepage title, meta, and linked socials
We crawl the homepage and a few inner pages, and an Excel download, a Google Sheets export, or a scheduled file carries the title and meta description of the first three (show the Page columns before a CSV, and map them once for Close; GoHighLevel contacts don't get them). A homepage titled just "Home" is a one-line finding you can quote, and titles and metas are readable and sortable, though not filterable. The same crawl records the Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok profiles the site links to; empty means not linked from their site, not no account.
Every email verified before it's sequenced
Every email we find is verified and labeled safe, risky, invalid, or unknown, and invalid ones stay visible, marked red, so you can exclude them. Sequence the safe ones and send risky catch-all and unknown addresses in small batches from a secondary domain; that triage keeps bounce risk lowest on the domains your agency sends from. Emails come only from the business's own website, mostly shared inboxes like info@ and office@.
Aim for the owner, not the answering service
Up to 3 phones per business, the Google listing's number plus any on the website, each checked for line type and carrier. Mobile is highlighted as the best number to call because it's most likely the owner, the person who signs off on a retainer. VoIP numbers are often call tracking or a switchboard, so expect a front desk or dispatcher there.
One saved view per service line.
Filters you can build in a minute and save as a view, then apply to any search or to your whole lead library.
GBP: unclaimed but active
- where Claimed is no
- and Reviews ≥ 10
- and Website is not empty
Listings customers already find and review, with nobody verified behind them; the website rule keeps rows that can carry an email, so drop it if you also build sites. Ask for the owner by name when the Owner column has one, since the claim needs their consent.
Local SEO: outside the top three
- where Rank > 3
- and Rating ≥ 4.5
- and Reviews ≥ 25
- and Email 1 Status is Safe
Well-reviewed businesses that still sit below the Maps top three for your keyword: the reputation is there, the visibility isn't. Run it on a one-city search when you'll quote the rank, and sort by Rank so the near misses come first; the email below is written for this view.
Reputation: low rating, real volume
- where Rating < 4.0
- and Reviews ≥ 30
- and Phone 1 Type is Mobile
A sub-4.0 average built on enough reviews that a few new ones won't move it, where the main number is a mobile, most likely the owner's: this is a call, not a blast. For mobiles listed second or third, save copies with Phone 2 Type or Phone 3 Type in place of the Phone 1 rule; for review-generation offers, swap the first two rules for Reviews < 15 and Claimed is yes.
Four verticals where the gap shows from the outside.
Home service trades
These are urgent, high-ticket jobs where the phone is the sales channel, so rank, reviews, and missed calls carry most of the pitch. Google says missed calls may negatively affect responsiveness in Local Services Ads, which is where AI receptionist and LSA offers meet. Many listing numbers are VoIP dispatch or tracking lines, so ask for the owner by name when the row has one.

- Plumber
- Roofing contractor
- Electrician
- Garage door supplier
- Pest control service
- Water damage restoration service
- Tree service
Dental, chiropractic, and health practices
Patients are high value and reviews sit beside every search result, but the phone is often a front-desk landline, so email and a named greeting do more of the work. Individual dentists can have their own listings beside the practice's profile, so an unclaimed row may be one dentist's listing rather than the practice. HIPAA limits what a practice can say in a review reply, so pitch review generation and a reply process, not rebuttals.
- Dentist
- Cosmetic dentist
- Orthodontist
- Pediatric dentist
- Chiropractor
- Physical therapist
- Optometrist
Med spas, salons, and studios
These are visual, repeat-visit businesses where Instagram, photos, and reviews do much of the selling, which suits social and review offers. Filter Instagram is empty with Website is not empty to find sites that link no profile, then check the account by hand, since not linked isn't the same as absent. Many are owner-operators who list a mobile number, which is where call and text rules are strictest.
- Medical spa
- Hair salon
- Nail salon
- Barber shop
- Day spa
- Gym
- Yoga studio
- Pilates studio
Law firms
A single client can be worth a lot, and map results for searches like "personal injury attorney" are crowded, which is why firms buy SEO, Local Services Ads, and intake help. Look for strong reviews outside the top three, and expect a receptionist or intake line rather than a partner. Bar advertising rules vary by state and can restrict testimonials and results claims, so any review or ad work has to fit them.

Behind the most-reviewed shops, a long tail of listings has no website or an unclaimed profile, and the Claimed and Website filters split it into a GBP-management list and a web-design list. Mobiles are scarce here, so email carries the first touch, except on the no-website rows, which are phone-only.

Past a handful of established practices, most listings here are thin: no website, an unclaimed profile, and few reviews. Several of the most-reviewed names read like a single dentist's, and some such rows will be individual practitioner listings rather than the practice's, so confirm which is which before you pitch a profile cleanup.

Reviews pile up at a few leaders, so most shops sit far behind on count: a review-generation pitch with the comparison built in. Unclaimed profiles are rarer here than in Boca Raton or Hilo, so reviews and rank are a likelier pitch than claiming the profile.

An opener built on something they can check.
Hi {Owner},
I searched Google Maps for [search term] in [the city you searched] this week. {Business} has a {Rating} rating from {Reviews} reviews, but it wasn't one of the first three businesses on the map.
Some of what decides that order is distance from the person searching, which nobody can change. Some of it can be worked on, like the categories on your profile and how your website's page titles describe the work.
I can put together a one-page comparison of your listing against the current top three for that search. Want me to send it?
If you'd rather not hear from me, reply "no" and I won't write again.
[Your name] [Your company] · [Your phone] [Your postal address]
Why it works
- Send it from the "Local SEO: outside the top three" view of a one-city search, with [search term] and [the city you searched] set to exactly what you ran: Rank is that keyword's position in that city, which may not be the {City} in the row. Rank is a snapshot, so check the live results the morning you send.
- {Owner} is a full name, so trim it to a first name. When it's blank, open with "Hi," and go straight to the search you ran: the evidence carries this email, and most inboxes we find are shared ones like info@ and office@.
- If Page 1 Title reads "Home" or only the business name, quote it in the second paragraph; it's the most checkable line you can add. Never promise a position or imply you're Google: Google's third-party policy bars both.
Before you send
CAN-SPAM covers commercial email to businesses, and calls and texts can fall under the TCPA and federal and state do-not-call rules, which are stricter for mobile numbers; texts sent from software on a local number also need A2P 10DLC registration with the carriers, which expects opt-in consent. Profile and review work adds Google's Business Profile policies, which rule out posing as Google, promising top placement, rewarding reviews, or asking only happy customers, plus the FTC's rule on consumer reviews. LeadMarina doesn't scrub numbers against do-not-call lists or certify compliance, so check the rules that apply to you before you send.
Words in {braces} are columns in your export; words in [brackets] are yours to fill in.
Send them where you already work.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rank the same as a geo-grid scan or a rank tracker?
No. Rank is the business's Google Maps position for your keyword in the city you searched, recorded once when the search ran, and each city in a bulk search is numbered from 1. It doesn't move the searcher around a grid or track changes over time, so use it to decide who to pitch and run your own grid before you quote a position.
What hit rate should I expect for owner names and emails?
It depends on what each business publishes, and we don't promise a rate. Emails come only from the business's own website, with no pattern guessing, and most are shared inboxes like info@ and office@; the owner's name appears where we can identify one, usually because the business's own website names them, and only a fraction of leads have one. Listings with no website have no emails and almost never an owner name, just the Google phone, checked for line type. Run your 100 free leads on your own trade in one city and count.
Can I filter for businesses that aren't on Instagram or Facebook?
Not exactly. Those columns hold the profiles linked from the business's own website, so empty means not linked from their site, not no account. Filter Instagram is empty with Website is not empty to build the list, then check the account by hand before you pitch. If the missing website is the gap you sell, see our page for web designers and developers.
Can I see who already runs Google Ads or has an agency?
No. The record has no ad-spend, ad-activity, or tech-stack data and nothing that names a current vendor, and Claimed is yes means someone verified the profile, not who. For a shortlist, check Google's Ads Transparency Center and the social networks' public ad libraries, all free, before you choose between a first-campaign pitch and a takeover pitch.
Can I run it for several clients, or resell the lists?
Each account is one login, with no per-client workspaces or seats, and GoHighLevel connects one sub-account at a time. Use the leads to win and serve your own clients, but the Terms don't allow reselling or redistributing raw data without adding meaningful value, so white-labeled lists are out.
If I rerun a territory every month, do I pay again and get duplicates in my CRM?
Every run is a fresh search, charged per lead delivered, including businesses you already have; filtering, re-querying, and exporting what you already hold costs nothing. Re-exports to Close, GoHighLevel, or a sheet LeadMarina created update the existing record, matched on Google's business ID, rather than adding a second one. See plans and pricing for volumes.
