How it works
Search a target city
Enter a city or area. Pick a niche you specialise in — or scan all niches at once.
Spot the weak profiles
Look for businesses with under 20 reviews, ratings below 4.0, or missing websites. Those are your best-fit clients.
Save your shortlist
Save promising leads and keep them organized in your dashboard, one click from their Google Maps profile.
Export and pitch
Download CSV, import into your CRM, and open each business's Google Maps profile with one click.
What counts as a local SEO lead
A local SEO lead is a business that depends on local customers finding it on Google and Google Maps, and whose public presence has visible gaps you can fix. FindLeadly shows the gaps that are visible in the Google business listing itself. It does not check search rankings or audit websites, so treat each signal as a reason to look closer, not as a diagnosis.
| Signal | Why it matters | What you could offer | Check before pitching |
|---|---|---|---|
| No website listed | The Google profile sends searchers nowhere | A site linked from the profile, then local SEO | Search the name first; some have a site they never linked |
| Fewer than 20 reviews | Less social proof than most competitors in the area | A review request routine (link, QR code, follow-up message) | May simply be a new business; check the oldest review |
| Rating below 4.0 | Searchers compare stars before they call | Review response and reputation work | Usually a service issue that marketing cannot fix alone |
| No opening hours | Google cannot show if the business is open now | Profile completion: hours, categories, services, photos | Quick win, small fee; use it as a door opener |
From list to first conversation
- Search one niche in one city and use the "Low reviews" or "Weak Google profile" filter.
- Open the strongest candidates in Google Maps and compare them with the top three competitors nearby.
- If they have a website, run the 10-minute website audit.
- Score each business with the lead scorecard and contact the top scores first.
- Lead with one gap the owner can see for themselves, using the outreach templates.
