Find businesses
Find the local businesses worth pitching, before anyone else calls.
Search a trade and a city. SiteAssay returns the real businesses there, merged across map listings and business directories, and scores each one from its public listing, so you can see which of them need you before you spend a single audit.
A search that ends in a shortlist
Three things happen between typing a trade and knowing who to call, and each one is a decision you would otherwise make by hand.
Search a trade and a city
Dentists in Leeds, roofers in Austin. One search runs across map listings and business directories, and the same business found in three places arrives as one record.
Scored before you audit
Every business carries a score read off its public listing: no website, few reviews, a low rating, an unclaimed profile, missing hours. Sort by it and the shortlist writes itself.
Split by the pitch
Businesses with no website at all are kept apart from businesses whose website is in trouble, because one is a build and the other is a rescue.
Discovery
Start from the businesses, not from a URL somebody gave you.
An audit tool waits for somebody to paste a URL, so it only ever meets businesses that already suspect a problem. Discovery starts from the other end: every business of a trade in a place, whether or not it has noticed yet.
- Merged, not stacked
- The same dentist listed in three places is one row, matched on its website, then its phone number, then its name and town.
- Searches that run themselves
- Save a search and put it on a schedule. Each run brings only the businesses you have not already seen.
- Reviews read, not counted
- The public reviews behind the rating, with the complaints that come up more than once pulled out, so you know what hurts before you call.
- Nothing bought from a broker
- Listings come from public map and directory sources, searched live. Contact details are never sold or exported.
From a town to a first meeting
Each step is its own action, so nothing is scanned just because it appeared in a list.
-
01
Search
A trade and a place. The businesses arrive merged and scored, and the search is charged only if the sources answered.
-
02
Shortlist
Sort by the listing score, filter to no website or to a website in trouble, and pick the ones worth a closer look.
-
03
Audit
Run the full audit on the ones you picked, one at a time or as a batch, and get a finding you can prove.
-
04
Open
Take the one measurement worth leading with, and the report link that proves it, into your first conversation.
-
05
Follow through
Move the conversation across a deal board with a value on it, and get nudged when one goes quiet.
Local Grid
See where they are invisible, street by street.
A single rank check picks one spot and calls it the answer. The Local Grid checks the map results at every point of a lattice around the business, which is the picture that shows an owner they vanish four streets from their own door.
See how we measure- A rank per coordinate
- Odd-sized grids centred on the business, spaced in metres you choose, with a rank in every cell.
- Run when you ask
- Nothing runs in the background, so nothing costs you while you are not looking.
The first conversation
Open with a measurement, not a pitch.
Every business you shortlist can carry a full audit and a report link with your name on it. The first thing you say to the owner is a number from their own website, and the deal board keeps track of what happens after that.
Read a sample report- A report that opens on a phone
- A shareable link with no login. Views are counted, so you know when it is being read.
- A pipeline, not a spreadsheet
- Each business moves from new to won or lost, with a value on it and a nudge when a conversation goes quiet.
What a directory export does not do
A spreadsheet of names tells you who exists. It does not tell you who needs you, or give you anything to say to them.
| Capability | SiteAssay | A directory export |
|---|---|---|
| Where the businesses come from | Map listings and directories, searched live and merged | A file somebody compiled once |
| Who to call first | A score read off each public listing | Alphabetical order |
| No website at all | Its own segment, with what it relies on instead | A blank cell |
| Something to say | A measured finding from their own website | A guess about what they might need |
| What you open with | A report link with your name on it | An introduction they have heard before |
Questions
Where do the businesses come from?
From public map listings and business directories, searched live when you run a search. Nothing is bought from a data broker, and the same business found in two places is merged into one record.
Does it find businesses with no website?
Yes, and it keeps them apart. A business with no site is a build rather than a rescue, so it is counted in its own segment along with what it relies on instead: a social page, a directory listing or a site builder.
How many businesses does one search return?
Up to your plan's results-per-search limit. Each search uses one from your monthly allowance, and a search that returns nothing because every source refused us is not charged.
Can I keep track of the businesses I am talking to?
Yes. Each one moves across a deal board, from new to won or lost, with a value on it and a nudge when a conversation has gone quiet.
