LOCAL PROSPECT RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Build a more useful local business list with less manual searching.

Start with a service category and target area, then organize matching local businesses into a reviewable prospect list. Expand research across relevant cities, remove repeated entries, and keep practical details such as business name, category, address, phone, website, and public ratings together for a person to qualify before outreach.
